Abstract

The invention provides a process for measuring the relative movement of at least two components, such as a fixed wheel, a loose wheel and a sliding sleeve of a synchronizing device. For analyzing the measuring values after the detection thereof, first at least a portion of the measuring values is adjusted by linking them with one another, taking into account known marginal conditions. By means of a subsequent standardization of the series of measuring values, in addition, as required, the reference system (the location of the observer of the measurement), can be freely selected. Thus, it is possible to observe the event from a particularly suitable reference system, such as the synchronizing rotational speed. The joint display of the series of measuring values precisely defines the relative movement of the observed components.
