Questions about standards (measuring rods) for micrometers

digital verniers, I'd have to check how far out

I believe the question was intended to reflect that “vernier” is not something that can be digital, as it is a system of indicating by using differentially spaced lines. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernier_scale

Some people seem to refer to caliper as a vernier, I suppose because early calipers used vernier scales. Thus they refer to a digital vernier when the intended term is likely digital caliper.

I have a pair of vernier calipers and I like that they don’t run out of batteries, though dial calipers have that same advantage while also being quick to read. Micrometers often use a vernier scale to indicate the final decimal place (0.0001” increments for imperial tools). So just saying “a vernier” can be confusing.

tes accept that, well then,my digital calipers, will check on variation today
