Difference between oscilloscope and oscillogram

oscilloscope

Definitions

noun

  1. electronic equipment that provides visual images of varying electrical quantities

Examples

It makes data generators, multimeters and oscilloscopes, as well as semiconductors, optoelectronic components and RF chip sets - all very complex products that require a great deal of customization for individual customers.

With previous records, inexperienced technicians had interpreted relatively simple information from an oscilloscope and plotted it on a graph.

When a nerve impulse raced from the mystery organ to the brain, a green phosphorescent wave trace swept across our oscilloscope screen and a loud crack resounded from a speaker.

oscillogram

Definitions

noun

  1. the recording produced by an oscillograph

Examples

Figure 1 shows sonograms and oscillograms of a whine-plus-chuck call of a túngara frog (Physalaemus pustulosus; left) and a call group of a cricket frog (Acris crepitans; right).

If you drew a line surrounding the upper half of the oscillogram, you could call it the envelope of the sound-a graphic displaying the level as a function of time.

The execution result may preserve the electronic data sheet, also may derive the oscillogram.
