Method and Computer Device for Selecting a Measurement Sequence for a Coordinate Measuring Machine

A method for setting a measurement sequence for a coordinate measuring machine, the method comprising:

• obtaining a plurality of surface regions of an object to be measured by a measurement sensor in respect of at least one predetermined property, wherein, to measure a respective surface region, the measurement sensor is arranged by the coordinate measuring machine according to at least one of a specific position and a specific alignment;
• changing a measurement sequence, in which to measure the surface regions, multiple times using a first algorithm and using a second algorithm, wherein, with each change of the measurement sequence, the first and second algorithms each ascertain a changed measurement sequence and an assessment variable;
• and
• selecting one of the measurement sequences based on the ascertained assessment variables, wherein at least one of:
• the first algorithm ascertains an initial measurement sequence as a start sequence for the second algorithm and has a higher computational speed than the second algorithm, and
• the first and the second algorithm are carried out at least partially in parallel.
