How to limit/control sampling rate in Apache Jmeter?

Ok, so I have control over the below parameters in Apache JMeter:

  1. Number of Threads (users)
  2. Ramp-up period (in seconds)

How do I test for varying sampling rate and not varying user addition rate? Even a fixed sampling rate would do.

Thanks in advance :)

Constant Throughput Timer is excellent to regulate the number of hits without changing the threads and/or delays.

It can also be controlled from outside (not easy).

Got my answer :)

Sampling rate can be limited by setting timer parameter.

Right click on your test plan, then Add, then Timers. There are a varieties of timers to cater to various needs. I used constant timer in my case.
