Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a procedure for handling exceptional conditions of a measurement system. The procedure includes steps of detecting at least one measured value, wherein the measured value represents a value derived from a measurand, and digitizing the measured value. The procedure also includes steps of creating a data structure, wherein the data structure comprises at least the measured value as an element, and adding at least one error code list comprising at least one error code to the data structure if the measurement system or the measured value has an exceptional condition. The error code is specific to the exceptional condition of the measurement system or to the measured value. The present disclosure further relates to a measurement system for carrying out the procedure.
