agent noun in Latin form from oscillate; 1835 of persons, 1889 in reference to electric currents.

The difference between two indicators. For instance, a moving average oscillator would reflect the difference between two moving averages. The oscillator ranges around a single line.

The general term for an electrical device that generates alternating currents or voltages. The oscillator is classified according to the frequency of the generated signal.

An electronic circuit designed to produce an ideally stable alternating voltage or current.

An indicator that determines when a market is in an overbought or oversold condition. When the oscillator reaches an upper extreme, the market is overbought. When the oscillator line reaches a lower e [..]

Definition A technical analysis term for an indicator that moves up and down, wavelike, within a price range.

This is the name given to any system, mechanical or electronic, that generates a waveform, acoustic or electric, that repeats at a fixed or variable frequency. The frequency of the oscillation defines [..]

The internal mechanism that is the clock in a biological rhythm. osculum

A tuned electronic circuit used to generate a continuous output repetitive variation, typically in time.

 – Device used to move automatic guns in a vertical plane to provide uniform and increased powder coverage. Motion is provided by a wheel and arm mechanical device within the unit. Radial oscillators [..]

(n) generator that produces sonic oscillations or alternating current

A high frequency oscillator is a breathing device (ventilator) that delivers very rapid breaths at a low pressure into the baby’s lungs. This can reduce the amount of damage to an infant’s fragile lun [..]

   A circuit that converts dc power into ac signals with constant frequency.  Also, an instrument that generates  ac signals whose frequency and amplitude can be varied.  These are also referred to as signal generators. 

Generates an electrical waveform. Used in synthesis to create various sounds.

an electronic device capable of generating a recurring waveform, or a digital process used by a synthesizer to generate the same..

 

A term from analogue technology describing a resonant circuit which is used for the first step in generating sound in a classic synthesizer. An oscillator produces oscillations (=tones). Synthesizers often use several oscillators to mix several oscillations. A digital oscillator simulates the analogue-electronic sound generation.

  An electronic sound-generating circuit.

An oscillator is an electronic or mechanical device that produces regular oscillations in the form of electrical or mechanical energy. Modern-day computers, clocks, metal detectors, watches and microc [..]

A sound signal emitter comprising a resonant diaphragm maintained in vibrating motion by electromagnetic action.

1) A device that puts out test tones at various frequencies to align a tape machine or for other testing purposes. 2) A device generating a tone in a synthesizer

A circuit that produces an alternating waveform as output when the primarily powered by a direct input.

A tuned electronic circuit used to generate a continuous output waveform. An instrument for measuring rigidity by the torsional oscillations of a weighted wire. (cellular automata) A pattern tha [..]

The heart of modern quartz timers. The quartz crystal oscillates at a specific frequency, yielding a highly accurate timebase. The best timers employ Temperature-Compensated Crystals (TCXO), which function accurately in extreme weather conditions.
