Tachometer Name (XM Serial
Configuration Utility only)
A descriptive name to help identify the tachometer in
the XM Serial Configuration Utility software.

Fault Low The minimum, or most negative, expected DC
voltage from the transducer.
Volts
Note: A voltage reading outside this
range constitutes a transducer fault.
Fault High The maximum expected DC voltage from the
transducer.
DC Bias Time Constant The time constant used for exponential averaging
(low pass filtering) of the transducer DC bias
measurement. The corner frequency for the low pass
filter is 1 / (2 x
π x DC Bias Time Constant). See
example table below.
