Abstract
A method for operating an optical sensor, which has a movement controller that can be actuated by a user to control a movement of the sensor relative to a measurement object, includes identifying that the sensor is in a favorable state of movement relative to the measurement object, and generating and outputting a signal when the sensor is in the favorable state of movement to assist the user in keeping the sensor in the favorable state of movement, and/or inhibiting or blocking by machine a movement of the sensor which would cause the sensor to leave the favorable state of movement. To achieve a favorable orientation of the sensor, generating and outputting a third signal signals to the user to actuate the movement controller such that the sensor achieves the favorable orientation, and/or controlling by machine a movement of the sensor which causes the sensor to achieve the favorable orientation.
