Thanks LindaBon.

I thought of analogue but my IT brain thought it meant something else. So I kept looking.

It had me puzzled for a bit too, but one dictionary definition is as stated in the question.  I am more used to this definition:
A continuously variable signal or a circuit or device designed to handle such signals. The opposite is "digital" which has discrete values.
