Abstract
The invention relates to an optoelectronic distance measuring device having a transmitting unit having a driver stage for a light source for emitting optical pulses as pulsed-mode-intensity-modulated optical radiation, having a receiving unit for receiving a portion of the optical radiation, said portion being reflected from a target object, and converting it into an electrical reception signal, by means of a photosensitive electrical component. It also has an analogue-digital converter for digitizing the reception signal, and an electronic evaluation unit which is designed in such a way that a distance from the target object can be ascertained on the basis of a signal propagation time using the digitized reception signal.
