1. A measuring system for acquiring measurement values by scanning, the measuring system comprising an interface for connecting the measuring system to a control unit of a machine, the machine being in the form of a machine tool or a measuring machine, the measuring system comprising a measuring instrument, the measuring system being designed to be arrangeable at a movement bar of the machine, a measurement object being able to be measured using the measuring instrument, the measuring instrument generating a measurement value when measuring the measurement object, the measuring system comprising a controller unit, the controller unit having a memory unit for storing the measurement values acquired by the measuring system, the controller unit being able to process and store the measurement value, the measuring system comprising a time generator, wherein the measuring system comprises a control module,
wherein the control module reads a position coordinate from the machine via the interface and compares the read position coordinate with a specified coordinate target region, and
the control module triggers a trigger signal when the control module determines that the position coordinate is located within the coordinate target region, and
wherein the measuring system reads, requests and/or determines the coordinate target region and stores the coordinate target region in the memory unit of the controller unit, and afterwards starts the measurement.
