On p. 34 of Mavic's "Complete 2007 Technical Manual" there's a picture of a tensiometer that appears (to this untrained eye) to resemble Jobst's design more than it does the alternatives. (I don't really have the vocabulary to describe the difference, except to say that the Mavic tensiometer doesn't seem to impart additional tension in the way some of the clamp-like tensiometers do.) I haven't been able to find anything else about it on the Mavic site or elsewhere, so it may well be new.

Are you talking about the digital LCD display tensiometer Mavic depicts in their 2007 Technical Manual? It looks like a digital version of the FSA one that Jobst designed. It might be really interesting if you could plug it into a computer. Then you could log all the spoke's tension onto the computer, so you could check the different tension readings.

And maybe, just maybe the clones that build these wheels for Mavic might actually use one....I still think they make some 'pretty good' rims but wheels, fergettaboudit.

You can also get to tools from that main menu under -> service -> tools, and get the same page faster. The picture is so small and poorly lit that no significant details are visible. Apparently the instrument is still top secret.

Dear Earl,
Park Tool has a downloadable XLS spreadsheet for recording spoke tension for a wheel, automating the conversion of gauge marks to kgf, and showing a graph of the wheel's tension:
