For example, you could either have the amp meter labeled with the first order effect - Lower Pitch /Higher Pitch or second order effect Higher RPM/Lower RPM. Since it is engine rpm that I would be primarily interested in, I (if I had a variable pitch prop) might label the meter with Higher RPM/Lower RPM or perhaps Increase RPM/Decrease RPM rather than lower pitch/higher pitch (the latter requires some mental manipulation). Just a point of view.
