O o - noun oscilloscope A device for viewing oscillations, as of electrical voltage or current, by a display on the screen of a cathode ray tube. 1
- noun oscilloscope a device that gives a visual graph of amplitude versus time of a measured signal, as voltage or current. 1
- noun oscilloscope device: measures changes in an electrical signal 1
- noun oscilloscope an instrument for producing a representation of a quantity that rapidly changes with time on the screen of a cathode-ray tube. The changes are converted into electric signals, which are applied to plates in the cathode-ray tube. Changes in the magnitude of the potential across the plates deflect the electron beam and thus produce a trace on the screen 0
- noun oscilloscope a type of oscillograph that visually displays an electrical wave on a fluorescent screen, as of a cathode-ray tube 0
- noun oscilloscope An oscilloscope is an instrument that displays voltage or current against a base of time. 0
