digital meter

Numeric readout device

A digital meter is a measuring instrument that displays readings as numerical digits rather than a moving needle on a scale.

Digital meters measure voltage, current, temperature, or other quantities and show precise values on an electronic display: The digital meter read 120.3 volts.

They've largely replaced analog meters in most applications.
