The method involves ascertaining a position value of a degree of freedom of a code carrier (12) relative to a sensor arrangement (13) for a rotary encoder based on a code projection. The position value is considered during determination of a current measurement position of a measurement component. A relative position of a connecting element (10) with respect to a holder (11) and/or deformation of the connecting element in the form of change in shape or size are determined from the position value, where the relative position corresponds to the degree of freedom. An independent claim is also included for a coordinate measuring machine comprising a hinge arm for determining a measuring position.
