Measuring system and method

Abstract

For a particularly precise check of travel accuracy, a measuring system is provided for checking and/or calibrating a travel accuracy of a mobile medical device that may be moved over a floor automatically or semiautomatically in a motorized manner. The measuring system includes a flat mat with an underside that may be arranged on the floor, and with an upper side on which indicator patterns that include at least one zero point mark for positioning the medical device and a number of track markings for travel motions of the mobile device are arranged. The measuring system includes a unit for illuminating the indicator patterns that are arranged on the mat using at least one concentrated light beam. The unit is arranged on the mobile medical device, such that the light beam is directed onto the upper side of the mat.
