The meter used to measure preciptation is called a rain gauge. Rain gauges only measure rainfall not preciptation because precipitation includes mostly anything falling from the sky. I do not believe there is one device to measure all types of precipitation. Although I believe there is such a thing as a hail pad to measure hail I am not certain.
