For me an hour meter should record every second the motor is running like a clock. Idle or high RPM all the same. That is kind of hard to do unless you use something like an oil pressure solenoid to turn the clock on.
Most modern electric gauges just use the key switch to turn them on and call it close enough. They assume if the key is on the motor is running. Not always the case but like I said close enough.
For a gauge run by a cable you have to have some give and take. If you set it to record at idle it will way over clock at PTO RPM. If you set it to be correct ant PTO RPM it will way under clock at idle.
An example. I bought the pickup I have now used when it was 13 months old based on the first plate from the state. It had 2500 idle hours and 4200 miles. Do that math and you will see you need a gauge that will record idle hours accurately.
