sample rate - Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (26 May 2007) :

  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?]
