What do you call the little hand-held device for measuring the output of pickups?

A multimeter, I think?

I think you've got your voltmeters, ampmeters and ohmeters, thermometers, hygrometers, stitiometers, monometers, dynamometers and one that does it all is called a multimeter. Could be wrong though. A multimeter would certainly measure the output.

Thanks, folks.
I wonder what Coastie uses for an altimeter?

Most trustworthy device I've used is the Flapdoodle MS5534.....................
The MS5534 pressure measurement module consists of a SMD-hybrid device including a piezoresistive pressure cell and an ADC-Interface IC. It provides a 16 Bit data word from a pressure- and temperature-dependent voltage. Additionally the module contains 6 readable coefficients for a highly accurate software calibration for the pressure and temperature measurement. Especially suitable for aviation- and battery applications.

Speaking of such terminology, I have a true story for you.
A friend of mine had a scholarship to do research at the Library of Congress. To gather all of the books, journals, films, letters, government records etc., he had to go all over that huge library, get all he could carry, and take it back his desk. He was spending too much time fetching and carrying. To make the job go faster, he asked the scholarship agency to buy him a little red wagon to carry everything in. They refused. So as a joke, he got an official requisition form and applied for "a small displacement mobile retrieval and transportation device," and they approved it.
