At the start of the method the following checks and actions are triggered:
• Assign determination ID
An unambiguous determination ID is assigned for the determination.
• Reserve device (module)
The devices (or their functional units) used by the device-dependent
commands contained in the method are reserved for the duration of
the determination, i.e. they cannot be used in other workplaces nor
can they be operated manually.

the set counter then the current statistical data will first be deleted and
the statistics counter reset to
0.
