Abstract
The cathode ray oscilloscope is not itself a device for measuring frequency, but it makes possible frequency comparison to a degree of accuracy which can hardly be achieved by other means. (Except “Absolute frequency measurement with rotating pointer”, p. 360). The accuracy of reading is limited only by the “absolute” limit at which changes in the pattern on the screen can be discerned with sufficient precision. The higher the frequency, the higher the accuracy of reading.
