Rather than counting pulses over a fixed time interval, the pulse meter sensor measures the time between pulses. The precise manner in which this is done depends on the ``internal_filter_mode`` option. This leads to a higher resolution, especially for low pulse rates, as the pulse counter sensor is limited by the number of pulses within a time interval. -Here's a comparison of the two sensors; both are set to an update interval of 10 seconds (using the ``update_interval`` and the ``throttle_average`` option respectively): +Here's a comparison of the two sensors.
