Method and apparatus for generating positional sensor data of a coordinate measuring device

An apparatus for generating positional sensor data of a coordinate measuring device, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one sensor;
• at least one device configured to determine a position of the at least one sensor;
• at least one evaluation device;
• the at least one sensor being configured to generate sensor data points, at least one sensor data record, and trigger signals having a trigger frequency;
• the at least one sensor data record including at least one sensor data point and at least one sensor data time;
• the at least one position data time and the at least one position data point being simultaneously captured;
• the trigger signal being transmitted to the at least one device configured to determine the position of the at least one sensor;
• the at least one device configured to determine the position of the at least one sensor being configured to generate a position data record upon or after receiving the trigger signal;
• the position data record including at least one position data point and at least one position data time;
• and
• the evaluation device being configured to determine an assignment of the at least one position data point to the at least one sensor data point by matching the at least one sensor data time and the at least one position data time and to generate a positional sensor data record, the positional sensor data record including at least one sensor data point and a position data point assigned to the at least one sensor data point, wherein the at least one position data time and the at least one sensor data time are defined in a common time system.
