  • Patent number: 10254743
    Abstract: A numerical control apparatus has a detector, a condition generator, and a logging processor. The detector detects occurrence of a preset event. The condition generator acquires, as a reference value, first numerical control information at a timing when the occurrence of the event is detected, and performs preset first arithmetic processing by using the reference value to generate a first determination condition. When the first numerical control information satisfies the first determination condition, the logging processor starts a process of logging second numerical control information.
