  "textContent": "The injection valve (100) comprises a valve needle (20) preventing a fluid flow out of an injection nozzle in a closing position and enabling the fluid flow of the injection nozzle apart from the closing position. Furthermore the injection valve (100) comprises an electro-magnetic actuator unit (36) being designed to actuate the valve needle (20). The actuator unit (36) is activated according to a predetermined activation signal with a given activation period (Ti) for effecting a fluid flow out of the injection nozzle. An actuator unit voltage characteristic (Uc) is captured at least over a period of time during which the valve needle (20) could reach the closing position. A noise part of the actuator unit voltage characteristic (Uc) is determined and a closing time (t_close) representing a time when the valve needle (20) reaches the closing position is determined depending on the noise part of the captured actuator voltage characteristic.",
