It's what you do when you don't understand what you need, but you
start building it anyway.

If you need precision, you don't want an analog meter.

The meter program is capable of 100 "placed" I.e. non-linear tick
marks over the scale.
Much like some of the expensive lab grade equipment built with hand
lettered scales.

I am reminded of a story in Model Railroader back in the early '50s.
One of their staff members was in South Korea during the Korean war.
He was bound and determined to build himself a small table railroad.
He'd spent several weeks making sure every measurement was right and
the corners were square.

Finally, the big day arrived. He placed it in the corner of the
living room. Much to his horror, he had a triangular gap along one
side.

He asked his Korean attache how could he have possible had that
happen. The answer was simple, "Korean house not always square."

"But, your furniture and tables fit perfectly!"

"Korean tables and furniture not always square either."
