1. A method for producing a diecast part, comprising:
extracting air that is contained in a diecasting mold by suction through a first suction line and a second suction line;
measuring a level of humidity contained in the extracted air with a sensor enclosed in a sensor structure, wherein
the level of humidity in the extracted air is measured while the air is being extracted,
the sensor structure is attached directly to a vacuum block, without a valve interposed between the sensor structure and the vacuum block.
