The Pocket Laser Tach 200 is a mulfuncon tachometer, ratemeter,
totalizer and mer. It is programmable to read in English or metric units.
An input socket accepts remote sensing devices and an output socket
allows for pulse output to external indicang devices. The PLT200 can be
tripod mounted and locked-on for accurate and connuous operaon.
This tachometer also stores minimum, maximum and last measurement
in memory.

A tachometer measures speed or linear rate with respect to me; me
intervals are seconds, minutes, or hours. Rotaonal speed can be
measured in Revoluons (Revs) per second, per minute, or per hour. The
most common measurement is RPM or Revs per minute using the opcal
Tachometer Mode.

Measurement of units in addion to Revs requires the aachment of the
Remote Contact Assembly and ps/wheels. With this aachment, the unit
can measure RATE inputs-revs, inches, feet, yards, cenmeters and meters
either per second, per minute or per hour, as well as miles per hour.

Totalizer accumulates input on an ongoing basis. In the simplest form the
unit acts as an opcal counter, incremenng the display each me an input
