All variables that are written via an input field (e.g., write
accesses to geometry data such as tool compensation and
work offsets) can be logged. A description of the variables
can be obtained via the Help function in the Parameters
operating area under Variable Views.
All PI services (e.g. program selection, file deletion, tool
deletion) can be logged. A description of the variables can be
obtained via the Help function in the Parameters operating
area under Variable Views.
All domain services (e.g. load/unload program) can be

All NC/PLC and HMI alarms and messages that are displayed
can be logged.
NC/PLC statuses can be logged using information about the
channel status and the position of the override switch. If this
information can be obtained in a timely manner, in many
cases these states can be used to verify the operation of the
MCP.
