I did a quick google and if it's the sort I'm thinking of then it measures air flow in not vacuum pressure after the butterfly. The point of balancing the carbs is so the slides lift together which is down to equal vacuums that then draw the air out of the chamber above the diaphragm, so while airflow is related, I doubt it'd be accurate enough. Also the airflow at tickover is quite small.
