Why An analog meter's moving needle gives you a continuous visual sense of which way a reading is heading, so when you tune a circuit for a peak or a null you can watch the needle swing and stop at the turning point. A digital display just throws up a string of numbers that jump around and lag, making it hard to see the trend while your hand is on the adjustment. That is why analog meters survive in tuning, peaking, and nulling work like adjusting a trap or dipping a stage.
Watch out High precision favors the digital meter, which typically resolves 3.5 digits or more and has no parallax or needle friction error. Frequency is measured with a counter, not a multimeter, and logic circuits are checked with a logic probe or scope.
Needle for trends, digits for numbers: watch the swing when peaking or nulling.
