| Summary: | The invention is directed to a coordinate measuring apparatus having drives (
14, 23
) for moving the components (
2, 7
) of the apparatus. The drives are displaced in accordance with sets of desired drive values (L
i
, F
des
) which are sequentially pregiven at a fixed clock frequency. The operation of the control can be integrated into a control computer unit (
3, 4, 5
) by making available a control computer unit (
3, 4, 5
) having an operating system without real-time performance in which the desired drive values (L
i
, F
des
) are correspondingly computed as well as by providing a subassembly (
1
) wherein the desired drive values (L
i
, F
des
) can be stored and driven to at subsequent clock pulses in advance in response to a command of the control computer unit (
3, 4, 5
). The subassembly (
1
) executes at least one of the following functions: automatically outputting the sets of desired drive values to the plurality of drives at the fixed clock frequency and/or storing the measurement values (X
T
