I agree this wording is still confusing. 

The problem is that the key subject, the time of the sampling, is in the descriptive clause "in which time frame".

"This value will determine the time frame in which the controller will sample"

or perhaps phrase it as saving a specific sample from the over-clock, or a phase of the clock.
