10.3.4 Tachometers
Set up a tachometer in Balance
By default, the analyzer is setup for CSI 404 tachometers.
Pseudo Tach must be disabled for the Balance program. When the pseudo tach is disabled, a
standard 1x tach is produced.
Note
The CSI 404A and 404B tachometers require power ON if directly connected to the analyzer. If you
connect your tachometer to the 404P external tach power supply, set the power to OFF.

From the Balance main menu, press F3 Job Setup > F10 Tach Config > F6 Tach Setup.
