[QUOTE="Magnetoman, post: 106581, member: 2806"] Going a bit off topic, prompted by an older colleague not realizing his cell phone told him the time, I asked my class how many of them wore watches. I don't remember the number now, but it was only two our three out of the dozen students. I'm sure some of them thought it was an idiotic question given that they never were without their phones, and their phones also told them the correct time. I wear a watch (because I'm an old guy...) even though I always have my phone with me. I passed through the age of having watches with digital displays when I was young enough that I don't think I could be dismissed as too set in my ways (but, then again, ...) , but I soon went back to analog watches. For the same reason a digital car speedometer is an abomination. A digital fuel gauge could tell me at a given moment the tank is down to 0.24873 capacity, but I don't need that particular information at that resolution so it would be more useful to me to be able to glance at an analog gauge and see the needle is just below the 1/4 mark. Plus, I want that analog gauge to have a time constant of at least 5 sec. because I want it to compute the average fuel level for me rather than telling me all the highs and lows as the fuel sloshes around and forcing me to mentally average it myself. My LM-1 has two analog outputs (one pre-programmed to output 1-2V for AFR in the range 10-20). I'm tempted to add a small analog panel meter [/QUOTE]
