Interval The interval in seconds over which the data is sampled and compared with the

Sample Type The method of sampling the variable and calculating the value compared against
the thresholds. If the value is absolute, the value of the variable is compared
directly with the thresholds at the end of the sampling interval. If the value is
delta, the value of the variable at the last sample is subtracted from the current
value, and the difference compared with the thresholds.
Startup Alarm The alarm that may be sent when this entry is first set. If the first sample is greater
than or equal to the rising threshold, and startup alarm is equal to rising or rising
and falling, then a single rising alarm is generated. If the first sample is less than
or equal to the falling threshold, and startup alarm is equal falling or rising and
falling, then a single falling alarm is generated.
Rising Threshold A sampled statistic threshold. When the current sampled value is greater than or
equal to this threshold, and the value at the last sampling interval is less than this
threshold, a single event is generated.
Falling Threshold A sampled statistic threshold. When the current sampled value is less than or
equal to this threshold, and the value at the last sampling interval is greater than
this threshold, a single event is generated.
Rising Event The event index used when a rising threshold is crossed.
Falling Event The event index used when a falling threshold is crossed.
