Abstract
An algorithm is proposed for deriving the measurement equation for indirect measurements, which is based on incorporating the features of the measurement object, the influencing factors in the transformation of the data-bearing signal as it passes from the object to the meter, and also the signal transformation in the meter. An example is given of distance measurement performed by means of electromagnetic waves in the optical range.
