Jul 29, 2016 at 21:39 comment added iheanyi The downvote is pretty much because I don't think this answers the question. Courtesy when downvoting is to say why, so someone has a chance to address the issue in their answer (or defend it and change the downvoter's mind).
Jul 29, 2016 at 21:32 comment added dim Well, it doesn't make sense to me. But I'm not going to argue anyway. And to be frank, I find it quite disappointing that such a trivial thing attracts so many upvotes. So I can easily accept as many downvotes you'd want on that (although not for the reason you give, but let's move on...).
Jul 29, 2016 at 20:37 comment added iheanyi Huh, time to sample can't just be ignored. Anyway, the question mentions writing software for instrumentation. Clearly, the OP already understands sampling terminology, so this question is not asking what you thought. As for what I think it's called, you can read my answer and the OP's comment on it.
Jul 29, 2016 at 18:16 comment added dim @iheanyi how would you call it then? Note: the time to actually sample the valu wasn't specified by OP and can therefore considered null. And this is really an implementation detail. Not relevant here.
Jul 29, 2016 at 17:14 comment added iheanyi Downvoted: Time between measurements is not a sampling period. Period = sampling time + time until next measurement. The term for the latter is the OP's query.
