Diskriminatorilla

Diskriminatorilla is a Finnish term formed from the noun diskriminatori, used with the adessive case to indicate the instrument, means, or location involving a discriminator. In Finnish technical writing, such forms are common when describing equipment or methods, for example when a system operates “diskriminatorilla” or is configured “diskrimatorilla.” The word reflects the broader concept of a discriminator, an entity that distinguishes between signals, classes, or thresholds.

In scientific and engineering contexts, a discriminator is a device or algorithm that separates or classifies input signals according to predefined criteria. In electronics and signal processing, discriminators are used for tasks such as demodulating frequency-modulated (FM) signals, converting continuous varying signals into usable digital or analog representations, or applying thresholds to distinguish valid events from noise. In particle physics and nuclear instrumentation, discriminators (for example leading-edge or constant-fraction types) help determine pulse significance and timing.

Use of the form diskirinatorilla is largely practical and dependent on sentence structure. It commonly appears in descriptions of equipment, procedures, or measurements, such as “laite toimii diskri minatorilla” or “kokeessa käytetään discriminatorilla varustettua vastaanotinta.” While the exact phrasing can vary, the underlying idea remains: describing something done with, by, or on a discriminator.
