# General

## Status variable

Discrete variable that determines whether the value applies to the associated external measurement variable.

If the status variable has a value not equal to zero, the measurement variable is applicable and is logged. If the status variable has the value zero, the measurement variable is not logged.

If you do not specify a status variable, the measurement variable is always logged.

## Confirmation variable

A confirmation variable that is set by the ACRON Provider to the value 1 when the associated measurement variable has been successfully read and saved.

Note

This option is not supported by all connection types.

## Variable for additional data recording

Display of variables that trigger an additional data recording.

Note

Additional recording is only triggered by Delta Events. The recording interval of the assigned variable does not trigger additional recording. The assignment of a variable without Delta Event recording activated consequently has no effect on the recording.
