Analog
If quantities in two separate physical systems have a consistently similar relationship to each other, they are called analogous, and one is called the analog of the other. The electrical output of a vibration transducer is an analog of the vibration input to the transducer, and bears a continuous similarity to the vibration itself. This is in contrast to a digital representation of the vibration signal, which is a sampled and quantized signal consisting of a series of numbers, usually in binary notation.
