Hi Don,


I think i know what you mean about the analog vs digital for
checking the resistance of a pot to see if there are any
jumps which would cause static if used for a volume control.
Many digital meters average over a rather long period while
the analog meter only has some inductance and some rotational
inertia, which seems to make most analog meters much faster.
The larger ones, with their increased inertia, arent as good
but still work ok it seems.
Not only that, the digital numbers may be hard to interpret even
if they do change fast, while it's very easy to see the analog
needle jump up or down suddenly.


Take care,
Al
