As soon as you have a mechanical needle displaying the RPM it becomes analog. The tiny motor rotating the needle very well may be fed a digital signal, but unless the Tach has been calibrated, you have no idea how accurate the needle readout may be.
Even 'digital' LCD or LED Tachs need to be calibrated to verify accuracy. The term "digital" may imply accuracy, but it does not guaranty it
