Function

• A meter device serves to provide a quantifiable measurement. Some meter devices also have a limited storage capacity on which to record the measurements taken. Depending on the nature of the data, a meter device may not be very useful without being connected to a computer that allows analysis of the data collected.
  
  

Examples

• Meter devices are as diverse as the subjects they measure. Whether it's measuring blood glucose levels (glucometer) or the devices used on the nuclear Hadron Collider, meter devices vary in complexity and cost.
  
  

Devices

• More advanced meter devices often require a connection to a computer for optimal utility. In this case, device meters often require a specialized driver to be properly recognized by the computer's operating system. The website of the device manufacturer is the best source for this.
