1. A method for determining and/or measuring and/or monitoring properties of a sensor system, the method comprising the following:
in a first step, a controlled change of at least one system parameter of the sensor system taking place in such a way that prior to the controlled change, the system parameter includes a first value and assumes at least one further value as a result of the controlled change, wherein the controlled change of the at least one system parameter of the sensor system includes multiple targeted incremental changes of the at least one system parameter;
in a second step, determining at least one characteristic variable of the sensor system and/or a change of the at least one characteristic variable of the sensor system, for the at least one further value of the system parameter;
in a third step, determining and/or measuring and/or monitoring of properties of the sensor system based on the at least one further value of the system parameter and based on the at least one characteristic variable determined in the second step and/or based on the change of the at least one characteristic variable.
