Matt,

You may recall that I provided a suggestion of using a Westach inductive sender when you asked this question on the GRT yahoo group over a year ago:

Has anyone found a device or circuit to pick off the output from the P leads on the left and right mags for feeding to an RPM measuring device such as the GRT EIS-4000? The EIS-4000 only has a single RPM input. The installation manual suggests installing a SPDT switch between the left/right mags and then to the input on the EIS-4000 for manually switching between the mags during drop testing. But that's pretty hoekey. Seems like someone should have come up with a simple prioritized switching circuit that would, say, always read the left mag p lead unless there wasn't a signal, then read the right mag P lead output. In my "spare time" maybe I'll make one if there isn't something already out there like this.

I thought that once upon a time I saw an electronic gizmo you could screw into the standard tack drive that would give an electronic output. Anyone have a line on this device and whether its compatible with the GRT EIS?

Thanks!!
