Can someone explain to me just how this gauge works? It obviously can't connect to the blade. So, how exactly does it measure the tension?

Here's a picture form the carter site.
I guess the knob and threaded tensioning rod bears down on a pressure pad and senses how much load is on the spring. Sends it to the readout.
