Term
|
Definition
| used to determine wave frequency, time is the measurement,seconds are the units |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| units are in millivolts,measurement is electrical activity, used for amplitude of the wave |
|
|
Term
| Explain when one might use a single point on a graph and when would use a range. What is the benefit of each? |
|
Definition
One might use the single point if trying to determine the amplitude of the wave at an exact point in time.
,One might use a single point when trying to determine the exact time at which an event occurred.,
One would use a single point when using the VALUE setting., One would use a range to have the computer determine the a maximum or minimum value in a peak or trough, respectively.,
One would use range to allow the computer to generate the most accurate measure of maximum or minimum.,
One might use a range to measure a duration (how much time passed) from one point to another |

Term
|
Definition
| The more measurements that are taken (e.g., A-B, B-C, C-D, three measurements), the greater the potential of human error. |
|

Definition
| waveforms with variable intervals of time between peaks or troughs |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| when two waveforms add together and result in a complex waveform, that creates a greater amplitude |
