Clock period and sample count multiply into the covered sample window. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

Four samples at two seconds cover eight

A clock period of 2 s across 4 sample cells covers 8 s.

Six samples at the same period cover twelve

A clock period of 2 s across 6 sample cells covers 12 s.

Halving the period halves the same-count window

A clock period of 1 s across 6 sample cells covers 6 s.
