Sample Type	Can be either absolute or delta.
Sample Interval	Time period (in seconds) over which the data is sampled and compared with the rising and falling thresholds.
Index	Uniquely identifies an entry in the alarm table. Each such entry defines a diagnostic sample at a particular interval for an object on the device.

Threshold Type	Rising Value	Falling Value
Value	When the current sampled value is greater than or equal to this threshold, and the value at the last sampling interval was less than this threshold, generates a single event.	When the current sampled value is less than or equal to this threshold, and the value at the last sampling interval was greater than this threshold, generates a single event.
Event Index	Index of the event entry that is used when a rising threshold is crossed. The event entry identified by a particular value of this index is the same as identified by the same value of the event index object. (Generally, accept the default that is already filled in.)
