If this a recognised abbreviation? The English abbreviation translation as it appears on screen in the manual I'm translating seems to be DIG, but I'm not sure what it means.

digital accessory

Yes, that is a normal abbreviaition; it means "tout ou rien", in other words "all or nothing" — but in practice, in EN equivalent terms, we'd talk about a "digital" input etc. — one that can only have 2 possible states, like on/off, 0/1, low/high, etc. (as distinct from a continuously-variable analogue input)

So your abbreviation 'DIG' for digital is perfectly consistent

Normally, the word order would suggest it would be "accessory digital", but I can't quite see how that would work, and you don't give enough context for us to be really sure how it is being used here.

In other contexts, it is also sometimes called "binary", but that's a bit confusing, since it can also imply all sorts of other things.

in the field of IT I've found = Tout Ou Rien (= numérique = 'digital' here ?)
Peer comment(s):

agree Tony M : Yes, it is digital, though not really (strictly speaking) "numérique"
