After each sampling period has passed, the next value is read and a signal is shifted to the new value.

The length of any digital delay line is a whole-number multiple of the sampling period.

To reduce the sampling period, we can introduce extra pipelining registers along the critical data path.

The separation between the sampling points is sometimes referred to as the spatial sampling period.

The actual amount of error is usually more than one sampling period.

A typical sampling period is 0.01 seconds (10 ms).

By looking at the data from one sampling period in August 1983, many striking patterns can be seen.

Chemicals are trapped onto the sorbent material throughout the sampling period.

If , then the time constant is equal to the sampling period.

This is because range is calculated based on the first signal return from each sampling period.
