Sampling Rate Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Sampling Rate is:

$\text{SMR} = \frac{\text{Total Number of Samples}}{\text{Total Amount of Time (seconds)}}$

Where:

Total Number of Samples is the total count of samples taken.
Total Amount of Time is the duration over which the samples were taken, in seconds.

What is Sampling Rate?

Sampling rate is the number of samples taken per unit of time, typically expressed in samples per second. It is a crucial parameter in digital signal processing and data acquisition systems.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Total Number of Samples: 5000
Total Amount of Time: 10 seconds

Using the formula to calculate the Sampling Rate:

$\text{SMR} = \frac{5000}{10} = 500 \text{ samples/second}$

This means that the sampling rate for this scenario is 500 samples/second.
