An EnumeratedType describes a binary-encoded numeric value that has a fixed set of valid values. The encoded binary value described by an EnumeratedType is always an unsigned integer with a length specified by the LengthInBits attribute.
The names for each of the enumerated values are not required to interpret the binary encoding, however, they form part of the documentation for the type.
The components of an EnumeratedType are described in Table C.4.
