Oscilloscope (Wordhole)

An oscilloscope used to be primarily an instrument for measuring voltage. Its useful graphic rendering of waveform allowed the analysis of properties such as amplitude, frequency, distortion etc.

Application

Oscilloscopes are used for the maintenance of electronic equipment in various fields, such as engineering, biomedical sciences, the automotive industry etc.

In context

The oscilloscope's hidden talent lies in making art, as it can be used to render .svg images that can then be manipulated through sound, something that we practiced extensively.
