1. A method for a machine control system comprising:
- sub-system made up of one or more sub-components and/or sub-systems;
sensing means for sensing at least one parameter of said sub-system;
evaluating means for processing one or more sensed parameters from said sensing means;
notifying means for providing said sensed, evaluated and counted information to another control system and/or operator;
counting means for evaluating the count of said sub-system;
data storing means for maintaining said information.

Abstract
In a complex machine such as a vehicle, the apparatus and control system notifies the machine or vehicle electronic control unit, if present, as well as maintaining a post event timer or counter that is specifically designed to help the component or subsidiary system OEM determine fault detection, failure diagnosis, and time dependant post event actions that are or are not taken by the operator of the machine or vehicle. The information that is kept by the onboard OEM datalogger is designed for their use first, as well as for the vehicle manufacturer.
