Analog Gauge
An analog gauge is an instrument that can measure and display certain dimensional information. Analog gauge have a needle that directly responds to changes by pointing to numbers on a scale corresponding to the input sensed by the measuring element. Movement of the needle translates to variations in input values, which are easily noticed and monitored.

Note:-It also persist the state on HOST end. It will also maintain last state of
itself whether it is connected with any control or not. if on an initial stage, it is
connected with any control and again if the same control is disconnected, still it
will maintain its last value.
