Abstract

A measuring device for triangulation measurement comprises a light transmitter for emitting illuminating light; a transmitting optical system for directing the illuminating light in a light pattern in the direction of an object; a light receiver for recording an image; a control and evaluation unit, which determines, in a measurement mode, form or position information of the object based on a measurement image of the light receiver. According to the invention the control and evaluation unit can change over between the measurement mode and a data reading mode, wherein the control and evaluation unit, in the data reading mode, evaluates the image with respect to encoded parameter data, and, in a subsequent measurement mode, uses the parameter data read in this way. In addition, a corresponding method for triangulation measurement is described.
