Default Re: SW 990B tach and 970 transmitter?

I am not sure, but the transmitter probably conditions the pulses coming from the distributor, and integrates them. Basically the # of pulses for a period of time represent a voltage, more pulses the higher the corresponding voltage is. The meter movement is a voltmeter calibrated to convert voltage to a corresponding RPM's.
