Imaging techniques are playing an important role for quality management. Because of this, different physical effects have been employed for various technical measurement problems. Most of those effects could be incorporated into sensor arrays, but sometimes there are technological or financial restrictions. One solution to this problem is building a mechanical transition stage using a single sensor to generate an image. Most commercially available setups do not allow for a synchronisation of positions and measured values slowing the measurement process down.
This bachelor thesis solves this problem with a real-time Linux control system. To do this, the open-source projects RTLinux, LinuxCNC and COMEDI were combined into a measurement unit.
