Analysator

An analysator is a general term for a device or software that performs analysis on data, signals, or samples. Spelling variants include analyser (British English) and analyzer (American English). In practice, an analysator may denote a hardware instrument, a software tool, or a combined system designed to extract information from measurements or observations.

In electronics and telecommunications, analysators are instruments that characterize signals, such as spectrum analysers, which display a signal's frequency components, or network analysers, which measure impedance and transmission properties. In laboratory settings, analysators include spectrometers, chromatographs, and other analytical instruments that determine chemical composition, concentrations, or physical properties of substances. In computing and data science, analysators refer to software components that perform data analysis, pattern recognition, statistical evaluation, or anomaly detection on datasets.

Quality attributes for analysators typically include measurement accuracy, resolution, speed, and the range of data modalities supported. Modern devices often integrate data acquisition, processing, and visualization to support decision making in research, manufacturing, health care, and environmental monitoring.
