Default Dynon with lightspeed tach settings off???

Anybody out there have a lightspeed EI on one side and a slick mag on the other with dynon glass?

When the engine is running the tach on the skyview is showing higher than actual. When I shut off the EI and just run the mag the tach seems accurate. Dynon manual talks about adjusting the settings "pulses per rev"

Ok, I can do that but...how do I know what to set to make this accurate? Any ideas. Will call Klaus or Lightspeed monday but if anyone has been there would appreciate your info

Default

I had the same issue when putting in an pmag.

I simply changed the ppr by one on the pmag side.

It will be obvious when you hit the correct number. Most are either one or two ppr....
