oscilloscopes (electricity measuring devices, elemental forces measuring devices, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Devices in which the variations in a fluctuating electrical quantity appear temporarily as a visible wave form on a display screen. These plot the relationship between these variations, with the horizontal axis normally being a function of time and the vertical axis the voltage generated by an input signal. The German physicist Ferdinand Braun developed the first cathode-ray oscilloscope in 1897. In general, these are considered the same instrument as an oscilloscope, except that the oscillograph may be capable of creating a permanent record of measurements, while the oscilloscope provides only visual feedback. |
