sample rate
sampling frequency

   <digital signal processing> The number of times an analog
   signal is measured (sampled) per second.  The unit of sample
   rate is "samples per second".  This is often expressed in
   {kiloHertz} (kHz).  For example, "CD quality" sound has a
   sample rate of 44 kHz.

   Compare {data rate}.  See {Nyquist frequency}.

   [Is it correct to use Hertz for things other than the
   frequency of a sine wave?]
