DataLogging

The DataLogging function is used tostore data on a workprocesssothatitcanthenbeanalyzed.CheckingDataLoggingvalueslets you identify possible technical problems duringwork phases or provide useful elements for improving theproductionprocess.

Values configured as DataLogging are collected and savedduring work phases, saved in memory, and available forsubsequentanalyses.
