Abstract
A method for monitoring the status of an apparatus, wherein an analog signal is converted into a digital signal with an analog-digital converter operating within a measuring range, signal portions of the analog signal extending beyond the measuring range are cut in the digital signal, a spectral analysis is applied to the digital signal to determine which frequency potions the analog signal possesses in a frequency spectrum and conclude a malfunction of the apparatus when the analog signal exceeds the measuring range, where when the analog signal extending beyond the measuring range is in the digital signal, this event is detected and determined as a number, where a signal quality is provided which is used to assess whether known damage frequencies can still be identified from determined frequency portions of the frequency spectrum, although additional overcontrol portions in the frequency spectrum occur as a result of possibly cut signal portions.
