I'm having difficulty finding a corresponding English expression. Can anyone help?

English translation:in order to determine...
Explanation:
I would try and rephrase. German likes nominal constructions, whereas English tends to use verbal constructions. So you might try and see if you can work with a construct like this:

the following operating parameters should be noted (or whatever you're using here) in order to determine [or maybe: so that it can be determined] if .... will be required/would be useful (whatever your choice; the exact register may depend on your context)

You could also start the sentence with "In order to determine..."; really depends on your context and how it all fits together.
