Starting with SQL 2019, it is:

CREATE TYPE series_t AS TABLE
  (  moment DATETIME NOT NULL,
     value  FLOAT,
     INDEX Main(moment) 
     INCLUDE (value)
  )

If you are an older version, I would suggest adding value as an index key
is the best in most situations.

I will submit an edit to the CREATE TYPE topic.
