Definition of Oscillograph

1. Noun. A device for making a record of the wave forms of fluctuating voltages or currents.


Definition of Oscillograph

1. n. An apparatus for recording or indicating alternating-current wave forms or other electrical oscillations, usually consisting of a galvanometer with strong field, in which the mass of the moving part is very small and frequency of vibration very high.
