1. Method of determining and evaluating data representative of the condition of a machine provided with measuring points, wherein a data probe is placed at the measuring points, test data are sensed and the sensed test data are transferred to an evaluation circuit incorporating memory means and are there processed, wherein identifying data representative of the measuring points and provided at each respective measuring point are sensed by said data probe, wherein the sensed identifying data are transmitted to the memory means of the evaluation circuit for adaptation of the evaluation circuit to the particular measuring points of the machine, wherein the data probe is comprised of a test data probe portion and an identifying data sensing probe portion mounted in a common housing, wherein the sensing of the identifying data and the sensing of the test data are initiated by only a single placement movement of the data probe, and are performed during or after said only single placement movement of the data probe at the measuring points of the respective machine.
