Abstract

A method and an apparatus for monitoring a process that proceeds automatically to ensure that it is executed properly. The method and the apparatus are distinguished in that one or more error signals signaling errors are generated at the beginning of the monitored process, and in that the generation of the respective error signal is discontinued if the error that is intended to be indicated by the relevant error signal has not occurred.
