This SensorWarningAlarmType is used if an additional sensor (e.g., a temperature sensor) measures a value that is out of the allowed range. This alarm is only used for sensors that are not involved in the geometrical measurement directly (e.g., a probe). Its representation in the AddressSpace is formally defined in Table 37.

The ErrorCode is used as the manufacturer defined error code. Often this is a numeric code whose meaning can be found in the manufacturer's documentation for the Geometric Measurement System.

It is supposed that any error message shown to users of the system is transmitted with the SensorWarningAlarmType in the Message Property inherited from the BaseEventType.
