readouts

Instrument panel numbers

Readouts are displays of information from a measuring instrument or computer, typically in numerical or graphical form: The readouts showed normal blood pressure.

The term also refers to the information itself, especially when communicated to others: The White House issued a readout of the president's call with foreign leaders.

In this diplomatic sense, a readout is an official summary of a meeting or conversation.
