• the information can be given, for example, by: direct display of the optimal setpoints, display of the actuation direction of the setpoints that are not optimally set (for example speed reduction without target value), display of the current situation (for example optimum yes / no, calculated score value), using a long-term score value (inclusion of older data), etc.
• the optimal control of the hydraulic pumps and the optimal engine speed with regard to fuel consumption can be determined. If, for example, a large delivery rate or an engine speed deviating from the optimum is set by the user, the operator can be instructed to set the optimum (or simply better) setpoint values.
