Damping refers to limiting movement of something. In England, a 'Shock absorber' is called a 'Damper,' because that's what a shock absorber does - it limits the movement of some oscillating mass (like your car body) so that it doesn't shake out of control.
Any analog electric meter has some dampening mechanism in it so that quickly changing readings won't shake the movement too much. This makes for more accurate average readings of a quantity. If you need to see the changes that are occuring rapidly, like transient voltages or pulses, you wouldn't use an analog meter, you would use an oscilloscope

What method is a forecasting method based on the idea that the weather ....?
Analog
How do analog clocks collect store and transmit data?
Analog clocks show the time; they don't process information.
Is Sound digital or analog?
Sound itself is always analog, though the quality varies. Things on a a computer, iPod, TV, etc. are represented and transmitted digitally, but it is converted back to analog before it gets to the speakers. An example of analog sound storage would be a record player. While both are voltage, digital media is written in 1's or 0's, then converted back into a semi analog voltage to drive a speaker. To the trained ear, modern music which is stored digitally still doesn't sound as good as analog, due to loss in some of the frequencies we hear. Another way to create or transmit sound is acoustic, which is that of a nonelectric guitar or saxophone.
What is the analog to evening dusk morning?
dew
What are the two basic kinds of electronic signals?
Analog and digital :)
Why is critical damping faster than overdamping?
Coz within the less time,pointer of an analog device gets stablilized and at one point and gives us the required measuring value instantly---this happens in case of critical damping.
Is CRO analog or digital instrument?
CRO is an analog instrument.
How analog instrument interfaced with a digital instrument?
Analog instrument are interface with digital instrument with the help of analog to digital converter(ADC).ADC converts analog signals to digital signals.
What is 310 in analog form?
The answer depends on what it is that you are measuring.
What are the different methods of damping used in analog indicating instruments?
Damping torque can be provided by: (a) air friction damping (b) fluid friction damping (c) eddy current damping. In air friction damping, a light piston moves with a very small clearance in air chamber. The piston moves against pressure of air in air chamber. In fluid friction damping, light varies are attached to spindle of moving system. The movement of spindle is suppressed due to fluid friction, Eddy current damping is one of the most efficient method of damping. It is based on the principle that whenever a sheet of conducting but non magnetic material like copper or aluminum moves in magnetic field, eddy currents are induced.
What is the difference between analog and digital altimeter?
Analog is displayed in a clock like instrument digital is shoun in numbers
List ten types of an analog electrical instrument?
pressure tenmitter
When measuring an unknown voltage with a multitester or analog VOM you should first?
Go to highest scale on AC range
What unit of measurement is used for measuring the phase of analog signals?
amperes, volts, watts (OSI Model CBT answer = Degrees)
What is CT burden in electrical engineering?
CT (current transformer) Burden is the maximum load that the CT secondary can drive (e.g. meters or protection relays) Why do you care about burden when ordering current transformers? The burden is the termination impedance of the measuring instrument. The measuring instrument can be an analog or digital energy meter, a data logger or a recorder. All instruments that use a current transformer to measure line current must terminate the CT with a resistance (impedance in same case which means there is some inductance involved). A CT supplier should be given the burden when ordering. Technically, the total burden for a CT is the internal winding resistance, the connecting lead resistance and the measuring instrument input resistance. Some Ct's are installed a long distance from the measuring instrument and the connecting leads can have a resistance as much as 0.002 ohms per foot (both ways because the current makes a complete round trip). This resistance will cause an error if not taken into account.
What are the actual functions of a mass spectrometer?
Functions typically include a base measuring component. There is also typically a digital (or analog) gauge included.
Difference between analog and digital control systems?
An analog control system is one that presents data by measuring a continuous variable. This reports the data back in voltage or pressure.
