Morphology
The meaning 'to report/display/output readings' is derivable from 'read' (to obtain information from a source) plus the particle 'out' which commonly signals making information external or public, so a learner who knows both words can plausibly infer the sense. However, the particle's specialized resultative/output function is somewhat metaphorical and varies across phrasal verbs, so the exact technical sense (especially for devices) is not fully predictable without prior exposure.
Etymology
Read out also paints the image of a machine that reads a measurement and sends it out to a screen or printer. So it means 'to report or show measurements'.
