Event/Reading Type
“Event/Reading Type codes are used in SDRs (sensor data records) and Event Messages to indicate the trigger type for
an event. These codes are also used in SDRs to indicate what types of present reading a sensor provides.
Event/Reading Type Codes are used to specify a particular enumeration (offset) that identifies a set of possible
events that can be generated by a sensor. For “Discrete” sensors, the specification of an Event/Reading Type code
enumeration also indicates the type of reading the sensor provides.”2
Event/Reading Type are listed in the following Table.
Table 1: ”Event/Reading Type” Code Ranges3
Sensor Type
“Discrete” sensors defined with an Event/Reading Type 6Fh (Sensor-specific) will use “Sensor-Specific” definition
for their offset and “Event Data”. “Sensor-specific” definition is available for many “Sensor Type” and may be
“OEM” defined for OEM sensor types.
