^. You miss my point entirely. I am not saying that a digital display is any less accurate than analog. I’m pointing out that implementing such a system is a difficult and time consuming task.

The processing of somewhat quirky analog sensor signals into a digital real time display system is not a walk in the park. If you’re not an electronics guy Google ‘signal conditioning’. This can be done both in the analog and digital domain (DSP). It is a massive subject in itself.

A case in point, the analog oil gauge is NOT inaccurate, it shows EXACTLY what the sensor reads from the level sender. Making the gauge digital won’t make it more accurate. You’d have to redo the entire oil level system to address the unique way that a 911 shows oil level. So yes, slippery slope.

As for the the ‘clock watcher’ stab, where did that come from?
