What is a "digital ruler"?
A digital ruler is a measuring tool that displays measurements on a digital screen, rather than using traditional markings. It typically has a built-in sensor or encoder that detects the position of the ruler's edge and converts this information into digital format. Digital rulers can measure in units like inches or centimeters and offer features such as precise measurements, the ability to switch between units, and memory for storing previous readings. These rulers are commonly used in fields like engineering, design, and electronics, where accurate measurements are crucial and ease of reading is important.
