IPA^(key): /ˈɹiːdaʊt/

Noun

readout (plural readouts)

A display, particularly one that presents numerical data.
An account of the topics discussed in a meeting, especially in diplomatic or political contexts.

Usage notes

Since "read" is an input operation, the term "readout" is self-contradictory: nevertheless the word has gained widespread currency. When modishness is not desired, the simple term "display" is likely to be more appropriate.
