What to enter
InputMeaning and units
Samples per channel (count)Enter samples per channel in count; use the same basis as the other measurements.
Recording duration (s)Enter recording duration in s; use the same basis as the other measurements.

Understanding your result

Read Sample rate (samples/s) in the units and model stated on this page. The formula rate=samples/seconds defines the relationship; measurement accuracy and model applicability are separate from numerical precision.

Common mistakes

  • Mixing input units or changing the physical meaning of a variable without changing the model.

Check your calculation

  • Use the worked example as a known reference case, then change one input at a time and check the direction and units of the response.
