Data logging: Recording of read diagnostic data
Continuous recording of read diagnostic data after initial manual start, e.g. via
SOPAS ET. If the function is set permanently, the device continues recording after
a restart.

To do this, check the contents of the current card on the computer using a card
reader. Delete existing content if necessary.
Indication of operational readiness

of the card in the device. It lights up in different colors according to the status,
