Tone indicator

A tone indicator is a device used to measure electrical signals. It's a dial or digital display which shows you how strong or weak an electrical signal is. For example, if you plug something into your wall and turn it on, the tone indicator will show you how much electricity is going through it. Tone indicators are used to help you decide how to adjust the signal if something isn't working properly.
