Table 51 Describes the fields on the Alarms tab

Field	Description
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
Interval	The interval in seconds over which data is sampled and compared with the rising and
	falling thresholds. When setting this variable, note that in the case of deltaValue
	sampling, you should set the interval short enough so that the sampled variable is very
	unlikely to increase or decrease by more than 2^31 - 1 during a single sampling
	interval.
Variable	The object identifier of the particular variable to be sampled. Only variables that resolve
	to an ASN.1 primitive type of INTEGER (INTEGER, Counter, Gauge, or TimeTicks)
	may be sampled.
Sample Type	The method of sampling the selected variable and calculating the value to be compared
	against the thresholds. If the value of this object is absoluteValue(1), the value of the
	selected variable will be compared directly with the thresholds at the end of the
	sampling interval. If the value of this object is deltaValue(2), the value of the selected
	variable at the last sample will be subtracted from the current value, and the difference
	compared with the thresholds.
