Abstract
In a controller, a method for operating a controller, a computer program, and a computer program product, data are saved in a memory, a setpoint is defined, an actual value is identified, the actual value is compared with the setpoint, and the data is saved as a function of the comparison result.

1-12. (canceled)
A method for operating a controller to save data in a memory after sensing of a switch-off request, comprising:
- defining a setpoint for a time period over which the controller is to be left switched on in extended fashion;
- identifying an actual value corresponding to a time that has elapsed after sensing of the switch-off request;
- comparing the actual value with the setpoint;
- saving the data as soon as the actual value exceeds the setpoint.
1 more element
A controller, comprising:
- a memory adapted to store data;
- an identification device adapted to define a setpoint for a time period over which the controller is to be left switched on in extended fashion, the identification device adapted to identify an actual value corresponding to a time that has elapsed after sensing of the switch-off request;
- a calculation device adapted to compare the actual value with the setpoint and to save the data as soon as the actual value exceeds the setpoint.
