A method for setting more precisely a position and/or an orientation of a device head in a measuring environment by a distance measuring device which has a number of M, M≥1, distance measuring sensors and which is connected to the device head. A control device is communicatively connected to the distance measuring device and an on-board sensor device. The position and/or the orientation of the device head is determined by the on-board sensor device and the position and/or the orientation of the device head determined by the on-board sensor device is set more precisely by the control device.
