Zusammenfassung:A method for characterising instrument error in a surface measurement instrument, comprising obtaining first calibration measurement data representing a known surface form of a first reference object and obtaining second calibration measurement data representing a known surface form of a second reference object. At least a portion of the second calibration measurement data represents a measurement range that overlaps with at least a portion of a measurement range of the first calibration measurement data. A common error function is obtained that characterises the instrument error.
