Claim:
1. An automation system with computerized numerical control, comprising: at least two data processing levels, each data processing level having a time domain and at least one subsystem; at least one clock time-registering means assigned to each of the at least two data processing levels and configured to register clock times of the subsystems of the at least two data processing levels with respect to the time domains of the at least two data processing levels, each clock time-registering means being configured to operate synchronously with each other clock time-registering means, each clock time-registering means being configured to store the clock times in an alternating buffer; means for comparing the clock times and relating them to each other in terms of time for the at least two data processing levels; and means for graphic and clock-synchronous visualization with microsecond accuracy of said clock times that were registered, wherein said clock times are arranged in a comparative view in said visualization, wherein said subsystems include systems selected from the group consisting of drive systems, Statistical Process Control (SPC) systems, Numerical Control (NC) systems, robotic control (RC) systems, and combinations thereof.
