Abstract: A method for a measurement or production setup includes providing a visualization system with a processor, an output device and a capturing module for capturing identification data of a working space. The method further provides a first setup component having at least one first marker at the working space and provides a second setup component having at least one second marker at the working space and being connectable to the first setup component through at least one connection. The method captures identification data about the markers and identifies the markers. The processor retrieves digital information for the markers from a database and makes a decision on the connection of the setup components based on the retrieved digital information and the captured identification data. The method then outputs a visual representation of the connection between the first and second setup components according to the decision.
