Sample rate for the spar valve and fuel shutoff valves is a non-sequitur - as those are hardwired connections.
FADEC 3 (GEnx, as well as LEAP and later model GE90s) has a major frame rate of 60 ms and a minor frame rate of 15 ms, so it depends on the parameter you're looking at (e.g. does the FADEC look at each minor cycle or each major cycle).
