1. The voltmeter whose sensitivity is increased by amplification.
2. A voltmeter that uses the rectifying and amplifying properties of electron devices and their associated circuits to secure desired characteristics; such as, high-input impedance, wide-frequency range, crest indications, peak-to-peak indications, and so on.
