My understanding of how this thing would work, intuitively...: The user sets the prop speed "baseline" based on whatever value he wants (engine RPM, separate optical tach, seat of pants sensation, etc). The Constant speed unit would detect whatever it detects at whatever rate it detects it at, and varies the prop pitch based on its program to maintain its detected baseline. It matters not if it gets 1, 2, 3 or 10 "pulses" per RPM, all it knows its going to try to maintain whatever amount of pulses its told to maintain. In doing so, the prop maintains its set RPM.
