DEF

Appareil servant à mesurer à la fois le temps écoulé et le temps à courir dans une émission.

OBS

Strictement, le chronomètre est un instrument de mesure de haute précision, tandis que le chronographe se dit des appareils courants de mesure du temps. Dans l'usage de tous les jours, ces deux termes sont confondus.

OBS

Familièrement, la forme abrégée chrono se prête bien à la désignation courante de cet appareil.
