.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP 
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 \fBQwtPlotSeriesItem\fP on a \fBQwtPlot\fP widget\&.
.PP
\fBQwtSamplingThread\fP starts a thread calling periodically \fBsample()\fP, to collect and store ( or emit ) a single sample\&.
