DIY Frequently Asked Questions / Digital Tape Measure')">
Similar to a conventional tape measure but with electronic features added, such as a digital readout to make measurement readings more precise and the ability to convert fractions to decimals or even metric equivalents.
Another useful feature is a function that compensates for the size of the tape case when taking inside measurements, such as a window frame or a door jamb.
Some models have a memory function which holds a measurement without having to write it down. Other models have a voice recorder to make it easy to keep track of multiple measurements.
