2. Linear encoder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_encoder

   A linear encoder is a sensor, transducer or readhead paired with a scale that encodes position. The sensor reads the scale in order to convert the encoded position into an analog or digital signal, which can then be decoded into position by a digital readout (DRO) or motion controller. The encoder can be either incremental or absolute.

3. Digital read out - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_read_out

   In machine-shop terminology, the complete digital read-out system (consisting of a computer, axis-position encoders, and a numeric display) is referred to by the acronym DRO. Such a system is commonly fitted to machines in today's shops, especially for metal working — lathes, cylindrical grinders, milling machines, surface grinders, boring ...

4. Height gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_gauge

   The left height gauge has the vernier scale, while the right one is an electronic height gauge with a digital readout. A height gauge is a measuring device used for determining the height of objects, and for marking of items to be worked on. [1]

5. Calipers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calipers

   Many types of calipers permit reading out a measurement on a ruled scale, a dial, or an electronic digital display. A common association is to calipers using a sliding vernier scale . Some calipers can be as simple as a compass with inward or outward-facing points, but with no scale (measurement indication).

6. Gauge (instrument) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_(instrument)

   Digital instrument meter with digital display. Only numbers are shown at a digital display. Analogue instrument meter with digital display. Only numbers are displayed, but through a mechanical or electro-mechanical display (today very rare but has existed for clocks, certain Doppler meters and informational screens at many stations and airports)

7. Indicator (distance amplifying instrument) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicator_(distance...

   Ideal test indicator pushed. Prior to modern geared dial mechanisms, test indicators using a single lever or systems of levers were common. The range and precision of these devices were generally inferior to modern dial type units, with a range of 10/1000 inch to 30/1000 inch, and precision of 1/1000 inch being typical.
