A digital meter is an electronic device used to measure and display various parameters such as electricity, water, or gas consumption. Unlike traditional analog meters, which use dials and needles, digital meters provide a clear numerical readout, making it easier for users to understand their usage at a glance. They often include features like automatic readings and data logging. Digital meters are commonly used by utility companies to monitor consumption and bill customers accurately. They can also be equipped with communication technology, allowing for remote monitoring and management. This enhances efficiency and helps in energy conservation efforts.
