Thanks Mark, but that's the input signal to the computer.  I was asking
about the output signal that fires the coil.  I think Richard has
confirmed what I thought the amplitude was.  The pulse width won't
matter too much since the tach has an internal one shot that drive the
meter.

Bob,

The Renesis repair manual shows a picture of the signal in the CAS section.
It looks like a stretched out spring with two of coils stretched more than
the rest, followed by more short sections and finally another stretched
section of one coil.  There are 13 narrow coils followed by two stretched
coils, then 12 narrow coils followed by one stretched section, then three
narrow coils.  Below is my lame attempt to illustrate what it should look
like.

You really ought to get hold of a Renesis shop manual.
