Word or phrase to describe how frequently a value is measured
The name for the frequency the samples are taken is Sampling Rate (not specific to audio only). It is measured in samples-per-second or in Hz
(which is 1/s
). The time between two samples is called sampling period, and is given in units of time. So in your case the period would be 1ms
and the frequency 1/1ms=1kHz
. Or in terms of rate
it's 1000
samples per second.
I would call it the sampling period or measurement period. For short periods like 1 ms, specifying the sampling frequency is another option (1 kHz).
The word is "period". Could be used in the expression "sampling period", in your case.
