### Description

```asn1
snmpAlarmSampleType OBJECT-TYPE 
SYNTAX INTEGER \{ 
absoluteValue(1), 
deltaValue(2)\} 
MAX-ACCESS read-create 
STATUS current 
DESCRIPTION 
"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', the value of the selected 
variable at the end of the sampling interval will 
be compared directly with both the 
snmpAlarmRisingThreshold and the 
snmpAlarmFallingThreshold values. If the value of 
this object is \`deltaValue', the value of the 
selected variable at the end of the sampling 
interval will be subtracted from its value at the 
end of the previous sampling interval, and the 
difference compared with both the 
snmpAlarmRisingThreshold and the 
snmpAlarmFallingThreshold values. 
An attempt to modify this object will fail with an 
\`inconsistentValue' error if the associated 
snmpAlarmStatus object would be equal to \`active' 
both before and after the modification attempt." 
DEFVAL \{ deltaValue \}
