We propose different parameters in the transfer function to be exchanged with random numbers. Every one of these numbers is limited by real range of corresponding physical device parameters. The result is a random value. Repeating the previous procedure with different random numbers we receive an representative of transfer function. It is then put on statistical test. Results from statistical test (average value, root mean square value and distribution law) are analyzed in order to determine mechanical parameters of the device. The considered example demonstrates the possibility for a easy and fast determination of mechanical dimensions and tolerances of the opto-electronic measuring devices. Key-Words:-statistical modeling, mechanical dimension, tolerance, transfer function, transfer characteristic. 1
