unit derives its Input signal in the following ways:
(1) An electronic tachometer can obtain a pulse
signal from the. ignition distributor that switches the coil
on and off. This Is the most popular signal source for a
tachometer that is used on a gasoline engine. The pulse
speed at this point will change proportionally with engine
speed.
(2) A tachometer that is used with a diesel
engine can use the alternating current generated at the
stator terminal of the ac generator as a signal. The
frequency of the ac current will change proportionally
with engine speed.
(3) An electronic speedometer derives its signal
from a magnetic pickup coil that has its field Interrupted
