Which indicator presents values as numbers on a device that advances intermittently?

• A. printer
• B. digital type
• C. type registering
• D. electronic indicator

Answer: (B)

Focus on how numbers are shown directly on the instrument. A digital type indicator displays values as digits, updating in distinct steps as the measurement changes. This means the reading appears as numbers on the device itself, advancing intermittently as new data comes in.

A printer would output numbers on paper rather than on the device’s display. Type registering records values by stamping numbers on a moving medium, which is recording rather than providing a live numeric readout on the device. An electronic indicator can show numbers, but the specific form that presents values as discrete digits on the device with intermittent updates is the digital type.
