For those who prefer in-depth analysis, high-resolution (100 Hz) data can be downloaded to AutoMeter's user-friendly DataPro software. The built-in four-stage shift light control and the improved ARMS (Automatic Recording Memory Start) system ensure effortless operation, allowing you to focus on your performance.
Utilizing the latest LED technology, this tachometer delivers exceptional visibility while being shock and vibration resistant, all while consuming less power. The expanded cylinder selection means it can support a wider range of applications than ever before!
