Have you ever seen a synchroscope in action?

No, I haven't! What does it do?

It's a tool that shows how well two electrical systems are working together.

That sounds really interesting! I’d love to learn more about it.

Root Explanation

Synchroscope → It is formed from "syn-" (meaning together) and "chronos" (meaning time) and "scope" (meaning to look or observe). The word describes a device that allows one to observe or measure time together, particularly in synchronization of machinery or electrical systems.

Memory Tip

Think of 'together' ('syn-') and 'time' ('chronos') being observed or measured — that's what a synchroscope does.
