Abstract
Some embodiments of the invention relates to an alignment method and an optoelectronic distance-measuring device. The optoelectronic distance-measuring device may comprise an assembly having a radiation source for emitting an optical transmission radiation, a detector for receiving an optical reception radiation and a printed circuit board, which are arranged in a rigid local relationship with respect to one another, and also an optical unit carrier with a transmission optical unit and a reception optical unit. In some embodiments, a transmission direction is defined by the radiation source and the transmission optical unit and a reception direction is defined by the detector and the reception optical unit. Furthermore, the transmission optical unit and the reception optical unit may have different focal lengths.
