Morphology

graphical + record

The meaning is transparently built from 'graphical' (relating to visual plots/charts) modifying 'recording' (the act or product of recording); a B1 learner who knows those constituents can infer it refers to a visual representation of recorded data. The compound follows regular English derivation (record -> recording) and a cross-linguistically common modifier+noun pattern, so the sense is immediately comprehensible from the parts.

Etymology

Graphical recording comes from old lab machines that drew lines on paper as they measured things, so graphical means a drawn picture and recording means keeping the measurement. That's why the phrase means 'a visual record of data'.
