2. A recorder records electrical & non-electrical
quantities as a function of time.
This record may be written or printed, and later on,
can be examined and analyzed to obtain a better
understanding and control of the processes
3. Paper chart – to record information
Stylus- writing instrument
Interfacing apparatus
5. Display and store a pen-and-ink record of the
history of some physical event.
i) Strip Chart Recorders
ii) X-Y Recorders
6. Instrument records one or more parameters that
change with respect to time. Self balancing or
galvanometer
One or more parameters with respect to some
other- XY recorder
7. Signal conditioning to drive chart at desired rate
Drives reversible motor
Event marker to mark edges of chart
13. Galvanometer recorder are uses d’Arsonval’s
movement
But not sensitive
Cost and size advantages
14.
15. A X-Y recorder is an instrument which gives a
graphic record of the relationship between
two variables
Pen moves in two axes
Pen clamped or by creating diff. Pressure to hold
pen
Expensive
Gives time base generator

19. X, Y, inputs
Multiple channels
Time base
X, Y, display
Single ended inputs
Differential inputs
20. High frequencies
High resolution
(fidelity)
Magnetic modulation
of data
Requires complicated
recording devices
Can be used with strip
chart recorders
