Carlos, Aaron only said "readout", which is unrelated to how it is measured. The advantage of an analog readout over a digital is that it is possible for a human to see spikes/changes more clearly.

Of course, depending on how fast that spike occurs, the needle won't be able to follow it. There are some digital meters that can be configured to display the peak value. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
