all I know from what I seen..once..was that the box required 12 volts and the Plug part had a transducer on it to read the compression pulses.It was on a lead to screw into the spark plug hole.
I hope that helps.
(if not..just posting to say you got a Neat name man!...haha!)

There's a vendor on here manufacturing their own rotary compression tester, seems to be just as good as OEM and a fraction of the price. Why don't you look into replacing this if you're not getting the information you need?

there's a difference between being purist and being thickheaded..

it's just a compression tester.

if you want to salvage it you will probably have to bring it to an electronics shop near you for basic testing which is usually rather expensive and has no guarantees to give you any helpful information at all. reverse engineering electronics is a lengthy process sometimes and doesn't always even net a result. since the designer knows what they are building in the first place, someone diagnosing electronics usually has no clue until a while to days later examining all the components on the board.

the compression tester i built for my own use gives much more information than the factory mazda one gives, down to a fraction of a PSI per rotor face.

I'm a rotary lover, and an electrical design engineer...which is why I'm suggesting a new unit with modern chips, components, and manufacturing procedures
