ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an opto-electronic measuring receiver for determining the relative position of the measuring receiver with respect to a radiation plane established by an optical transmitter. The measuring receiver comprises a plurality of opto-electronic receiving units for generating an output signal indicative of the impingement of the radiation plane on a respective receiving unit. Known opto-electronic measuring receivers having a great number of receiving units require a correspondingly extensive circuitry. For avoiding this disadvantage, the invention provides that each receiving unit is connected to a controlled commutator element, that there is provided a control circuit in connection with the commutator elements, that the first and second outputs of each commutator element are connected respectively to the first and second inputs of the control circuit, and that the control circuit includes memory means for storing an information relating to any one of the receiving units.
