Page 6: Functions
FUNCTIONS The RSM (Rev Speed Meter) is a multi function measuring device designed to measure and monitor vehicle speed, RPM, 0-400m time, mid range acceleration, estimated horsepower, as well as acceleration G.(Using optional G Sensor) ■Easy to Read VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) The RSM utilizes and easy to read VFD screen in a highly stylish case which also complements the cockpit interior. - Page 7 ■Various Measurements/ Display Parameters and Best Time Recording Engine RPM, Speed, Travel Distance, and Battery Voltage can be displayed in real time Graph Mode. Numerical Mode and Meter Mode allows Peak Hold function while the Graph Mode allows for Replay. In addition, the unit can measure Travel Distances, 0-100m/200m/400m times and 0-100km/h/200km/h/300km/h times.
