BTW, my caliper is not > digital, so the matter of +/- count is irrelevant. electronic test equipment is digital these days, so my question is very valid. How would you feel if your vernier or thimble readouts on your hand tools had number that randomly moved around? That's the goofiness of how these digital integrating meters work. It makes very little sense when directly translated into the physical word. Take a 100 foot surveyor's tape measure. Those are simple to read. You have feet and inches, and they're all in order. Let's our 100 foot tape is accurate to 3inches over that 100 feet. Not great, but fine for us. Now go digital, with the analog feel. Say the tape is now a long e-ink display and has no factory printed numers on it like a conventional tape. Every time you pull the tape out it redisplays tape measure printing and you get stuff like this: ... 12ft 1in 2in 4in 5in 3in 6in 7in 8in 9in 11in 10in 13ft ... How would that feel? It makes absolutely no sense unless you understand the silly types of errors that are display on devices where we expect direct read out of numbers. >>> but that doesn't guarantee that a measurement taken with it will >>> be accurate to 1 mil.
