Oscilloscope

An oscilloscope is a device that visually displays electrical signals over time, usually as waves on a screen. It allows technicians and engineers to see how voltage changes, helping diagnose issues or analyze signal behavior. Think of it as a sophisticated graphing tool for electricity, showing the amplitude (strength) and timing of electrical signals clearly. This visualization is essential for troubleshooting circuits, testing electronics, and understanding the nature of electronic signals in various applications.
