There is a spec sheet that will help you with this. http://files.andymark.com/FRC_Bosch_...ec_sheetv2.pdf. Let me know if you need further clarification. The hall does need to be powered because it is isolated from the motor power circuit.

It is an analog signal.

It basically provides one pulse per armature rotation. There are 179 armature rotations for each output gear rotation.
