A digital ammeter is an electronic instrument that measures electric current in amperes (A) and displays the reading as a numerical value on a digital screen. It works by using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to measure the voltage drop across a shunt resistor in the circuit, which is then converted into a digital current reading. Unlike older analog meters with a needle and dial, digital ammeters provide a precise and easy-to-read measurement and often include advanced features like auto-ranging, data logging, and alarm functions.
