1. An apparatus for analyzing a condition of a machine based on measurement data received from a sensor taking measurements at a measuring point of the machine, comprising:

  • at least one input for receiving the measurement data from the sensor;

    data processing means for processing condition data dependent on said measurement data, said data processing means comprising means for performing a plurality of condition monitoring functions; and

    a logger for registering use of at least two of said condition monitoring functions;

    wherein said logger is adapted to register a first value indicative of an amount of use of a first condition monitoring function by adjusting the first value at a first rate for each said use;

    wherein said logger is adapted to register a second value indicative of an amount of use of a second condition monitoring function by adjusting the second value at a second rate for each said use; and
