exhibit interference / spurii Explanation: 'parasiter' can also be used to describe something that exhibits inteference; in this case, the 'interference' would seem to involve false signals on the traces, hence why they can be shown in 'images'. Note that 'parasite', although usually translated as 'interference', is perhaps better rendered as a 'spurious signal', which more closely reflects the underlying notion of any unwanted signal, irrespective for cause. Note to that 'spurious', normally an adjective, cannot be sued as a countable noun, however, the plural 'spurii' can indeed be used in this way, with the advantage that it makes no comment as to the cause or result of the 'parasites'. |
