🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of the word logger in engineering/control systems • What makes a record permanent versus temporary (like an alarm or indicator) • Difference between devices that give warnings and devices that store/print data over time

💭 Think About

• Which of these choices sounds like it continuously records multiple parameters (pressures, temperatures, speeds) over time rather than just signaling events? • Think about engine room watchstanding: which device would you check if you wanted to review how the plant was operating an hour ago? • Which names are tied to specific functions like alarms or engine telegraph signals, and which sounds more general for recording data?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option’s name clearly implies recording and storing data over time • Separate devices that mainly alert or signal from those that record trends • Ask yourself which device would most logically be connected to many sensors to create a printed history of plant conditions
