PowerShell PRTG Advanced Custom Sensor JSON and XML

Because i found no needful Example of a PowerShell Example of a PRTG Advanced Custom Sensor and i dislike XML. I worked out an PowerShell Example of a PRTG Advanced Custom Sensor with use of JSON Hope this helps some one else to get a faster start on it.

<#
    Sample Exe/Script Advanced sensor                              
    Returns four sensor channels with static values to standard OUT
    Predefines limits for one channel

    See: https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/custom_sensors#advanced_sensors


  Output can be with the following commands

    Write-Host $XMLResult
     or
    Write-Host $JsonResult
    
    Write-Output $XMLResult
     or
    Write-Host $JsonResult

    
    # or simply return the xml / json text without any command
    
    $XMLResult

    or 

    $JsonResult

    This Example uses JSON for output at the end
