Summary:The invention relates to an arrangement for system-independent (off-line) programming of a measurement system for work pieces that includes a video measurement module and an evaluator. The arrangement according to the invention makes use of the evaluator of the measurement system or a similarly configured device. Instead of the video output signal of the video measuring unit that images actual work pieces, the video output signal of a system-independent programming apparatus is transferred to the evaluator of the measurement system. In a preferred embodiment, the programming apparatus is a personal computer with a display device, whereby the personal computer is loaded with a program for processing CAD data that describes a work piece, and for displaying on the display device various images of the work piece that are selected by the user. The functional principle of the arrangement according to the invention is that instead of a real image of the work piece taken by the video measurement module, the evaluator of the measurement system evaluates a virtual video image that is generated based on the CAD data that is available for the work piece.
