analog meter
Swinging needle display
An analog meter displays measurements using a physical pointer that moves across a numbered scale, rather than showing digital readouts.
Common examples include speedometers in older cars, traditional volt-ohm meters, and the needle gauges on pressure tanks.
The pointer's position indicates values continuously along a range, which some users prefer for quickly gauging relative changes or trends.
The analog meter showed the signal strength fluctuating wildly.
