Abstract

A calibration configuration calibrates a coordinate measuring machine that is suitable to irradiate measurement objects with invasive radiation and to process corresponding radiographs of the measurement objects. The calibration configuration includes a plurality of calibration modules. Each calibration module includes a carrier and in each case a plurality of at least three calibration objects that are assigned to the carrier. The plurality of calibration objects are arranged along a longitudinal direction of the calibration module and attached to the carrier.
