Autometer 6871 tach

Thanks Rod;
The instructions state....... NOTE: Playback tachs, and Playback boxes must have 12 volts applied to the blue wire. Recording will begin when 12 volts is removed......

So if I run the blue wire from, 12 v source through a n/o momentary switch, and then to tach.... I hit the momentary switch just before I leave, and the tach starts recording?
This tells me that the "blue" wire only has to see 12 v for an instant.... Is this true?
As you can tell, I'm not much for understanding auto wiring, and I need lots of help simplifying it... :-(
TIA
