metrologist:
Is it incorrect to specify sample rate in terms of Hz?

Sampling Techniques: Real-time / Equivalent Time / Statistical Sampling
Continuous Sample Rate: 100 MHz
Effective Sample Rate: 10 GHz

Or is MS/s and GS/s a more correct way to specify this? Can any supporting discussion around that also be provided?

Thank you.

1Hz = 1/s so technically correct :)

Also common in audio, but S/s is more common in scopes to avoid confusion with bandwidth.

BTW, what the fuck is one megasiemens per second? :-DD

Never heard it before but it doesn't sound to comfortable :horse:
Benta:
There's no convention for samples/second in the SI system, but both S (siemens) and s (seconds) are already reserved.

My favourite would be to write it in full: Gsamples/second. That way, there's no ambiguity, and that's what communication is about :)

metrologist:
Yes, I meant Sa/s

But there was a question on if there could be two samples per Hz due to rising/falling edge sampling.
