a) capturing an identifier of the motor-driven tool;
b) receiving, at the apparatus, an item of type-specific configuration information selected from a set of different items of type-specific configuration information that are each specific to corresponding different types of motor-driven tools from a database based on the captured identifier, wherein
each of the items of type-specific configuration information configure the apparatus to find and/or detect type-specific operating data received from the motor-driven tool having a type-specific data format; and

c) capturing the type-specific operating data of the motor-driven tool and processing the captured type-specific operating data in a type-specific manner by the apparatus based on the item of type-specific configuration information, the processing comprising:
interpreting the type-specific operating data in the type-specific data format, or
evaluating the type-specific operating data.
