Abstract

A method for operating a measuring unit having at least one parameter sensor, at least a position sensor and/or an acceleration sensor, and at least a control and evaluation unit, the position sensor and/or the acceleration sensor being connected to the control and evaluation unit, the position sensor emitting a position signal and/or the acceleration sensor emitting an acceleration signal to the control and evaluation unit. At least one process relevant to the operation of the measuring unit is triggered when at least one part of the measuring unit is moved in a first movement pattern, wherein the first movement pattern comprises a sequence of at least two movements and/or at least a partial process of the process or a process is triggered when at least one part of the measuring unit is moved according to a second movement pattern, wherein the second movement pattern comprises at least one movement.
