Abstract

The most important property of the cathode ray oscilloscope, and upon which most of its practical applications are based, is the ability of the instrument to display in a uniquely clear and accurate manner the changing values of a magnitude over a period of time. The examination of such records often provides much valuable information: for example, it may give a clue to the cause of the discrepancy if the shape of the trace differs from what had been expected (distortion).
