BPM Express for Hardware detects the temperature probes on the motherboard or devices and creates an instance of this class for each of them. Their location in the platform is described in the instance’s label if it is available.
When a temperature reading can be performed, temperature thresholds are automatically set and an alert will be triggered if the temperature rises to a dangerous level. Even in the case that no reading can made, the Status parameter will display the condition of the temperature in the system.

 "Status" is a text parameter which describes the overall status of the corresponding device or sensor. An alert condition describes in symbolic terms what occurs when thresholds are breached.
Example
If BPM Express for Hardware detects that manufacturer-specified thresholds have been breached for temperature, the Status parameter will report “Warning! The temperature is too high (67°C)” or, “Alarm!! The temperature is critically high” or, as may be the case. There is a complete hardware health report for this temperature sensor. The actual temperature value (when available) is reported by the Temperature parameter but alert thresholds are not directly set on this parameter. The history graph will display details about the problem, its consequences and the recommended actions.

 Depending on your system, all parameters may not be used.
