Abstract

The invention relates to a mobile measurement system, comprising at least one apparatus (16) for optical distance measurement having at least one transmission unit having a light source for emitting modulated, optical radiation (24) in the direction of a target object (26), and having a reception unit for receiving the optical measurement radiation (28) returning from the target object (26), and having an actuation appliance (18, 20, 60) having at least one memory element (42) for holding data, the apparatus (16) for optical distance measurement being connected to the actuation appliance (18) via an interface (31) for the purpose of data transmission. The invention proposes that the interface (31) be a radio interface. The invention also relates to a method of operation for such a mobile measurement system in which the connection setup between the appliances takes place automatically.
