The calculation of the display-information influences the power
consumption significantly. When the application does not require a
fast display update, it is
strongly advised
to select a slow refresh
rate. Please understand that NO information will be lost; every pulse
will be counted and the output signal will be generated in the normal
way.
The following can be selected:
Fast - 1 sec - 3 sec - 15 sec - 30 sec - off.
Example battery life-time with a coil pick-up:
