Abstract
A measuring instrument for contactless detection of a path c is comprised of a two-part ( ) base plate ( ), a side plate ( ), and a movable part ( ). The movable part ( ) has a support plate ( ) which is guided through a slot ( ) in the side plate ( ). At one end ( ) of the support plate ( ), there is a permanent magnet ( ) which is embodied as smaller than the path (c). The magnet ( ) can be embodied in one piece or in several pieces. Through the disposition of the magnet ( ), it is possible to produce different sections, e.g. plateaus or sections deviating form the linear measurement line, in the measurement curve detected by the measuring instrument.
