survey of the metrological state


Explanation:
While "Erfassung der Fakten" means fact-finding, here it seems to be less about external 'facts' and more about the "messtechnische Zustand," which would seem to be a singular property/value.

More philosophical than may be desirable, so take a look at this:

Zustandserfassung und Auswertung = Constitutional data acquisition and evaluation of state of federal motorways

Data acqusition, yes, but pertaining directly to the "state" of something.

Sorry, that excerpt from "Zustandserfassung.... motorways"
comes from the title of a text I can't access entirely because it's in a paid journal
