sample rate
sampling frequency
    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?]
