1. A method for transmitting data among a first and second memory unit of at least one position measuring device, said data being stored in a first one of the memory units comprising:

  • connecting the memory units with a data transmission line;

    transmitting the data from the first memory unit into the second memory unit, such that after the data are transmitted, the data of the first memory unit are at least partially contained in the second memory unit; and

    replacing the first memory unit with the second memory unit;

    wherein the data is specific for operation of a particular position measuring device, the position measuring device includes a scale and a scanning unit movably arranged in measuring relation thereto to produce position-dependent scanning signals by scanning the scale, the scanning signals transmitted to a downstream evaluation unit.
