The invention relates to a calibrating system for calibrating at least one distance-measuring device. In particular, the calibrating system is suitable for almost simultaneous calibration of a plurality of filling-level measuring devices. It is characterized in that a mirror arrangement is provided, by means of which a laser tracker can determine a least one distance to at least one reflector and at least one reference distance to the at least one distance-measuring device. The calibrating system according to the invention allows both the distance to the reflector and the reference distance to be determined by a single measuring device, without the at least one reflector having to be collapsible for this purpose or the calibration having to be interrupted. The calibrating system accordingly permits more precise calibration, the calibrating system further being operable with a high degree of automation.

Calibrating system for calibrating at least one distance-measuring device

The invention relates to a system for calibrating a distance measuring device, comprising: a measuring track, on which the distance measuring device is mountable; an areal reflector mountable shiftably on the measuring track for reflecting a measurement signal transmitted from the distance measuring device back to the distance measuring device, so that by means of the distance measuring device a distance measurement for determining a distance (D) between the distance measuring device and the reflector is performable; and a laser distance measuring device mountable on the measuring track for registering tilt of the reflector; wherein means for orienting the distance measuring device are provided, so that measurement signals of the distance measuring device reflected back to the distance measuring device by means of the reflector are received with maximum intensity by the distance measuring device.
