Abstract

In a method and a corresponding control device for automatic position determination in at least one spatial direction of at least two acquisition devices, wherein more acquisition devices than acquisition channels are present, a position measurement for one of the acquisition devices is implemented with an acquisition channel in a first step and a position measurement for another of the acquisition devices with the same acquisition channel is implemented in a second step. The position of the respective acquisition devices is determined based on these position measurements.
