Hi Phil,

Try contacting RAM METER (248) 362-0990 and talk with Jerry in the sales office. He can hook you up with both the meter and someone who can make it do what you want. You probably want some sort of revolution counter. This can be as simple as a magnetic pickup with a reed switch or as sophisticated as a proper magnetic pickup or optical pickup. Ram has sources for all types of odd digital meters, some with charactors as high as 3 inches.

Tell Jerry I told you to call.

Good luck,

John B
