Abstract
A liquid crystal display part includes a seven segment display group and first and second switches. If the first switch “on”, a display provided by the seven segment display group is switched to a normal direction display having an upward orientation. In addition, if the second switch is “on,” then the display provided by the seven segment display group is switched to an inverse direction display having a downward direction. In addition, a first character pattern that indicates the unit of the measurement value is displayed for the normal direction display, and a second character pattern that indicates the unit of the measurement value is displayed for the inverse direction display. A cover is openably, closably, and rotatably provided to the liquid crystal display part, and the display direction of the measurement value is switched according to the position of the cover.
