This is the name that chemists and other people in occupations related to science use for the devices they use for measuring weights and masses of samples, results, speciments, etc. They are called digital because they the display weights or masses of these items as numbers on some form of computer screen or readout. In fact, digital balances are not really balances at all and the word 'digital' is used to distinguish them from real, old-fashioned balances that have not been used in the most opulent parts of the world for several decades. Many digital balances used in science provide highly precise weights or masses within .00001 gram of the true value or better. Since digital balances actually measure force rather than mass they need to be calibrated with known masses.
