Detailed Description

A thread collecting samples at regular intervals.

Continuous signals are converted into a discrete signal by collecting samples at regular intervals. A discrete signal can be displayed by a QwtPlotSeriesItem on a QwtPlot widget.

QwtSamplingThread starts a thread calling periodically sample(), to collect and store ( or emit ) a single sample.
