It measures in real time. Because the battery and alternator are wired together (obviously) the voltmeter registers current voltage at any given moment. If the alternator's voltage output drops, the voltmeter will too--up until the battery picks up the load from the alt on the lower end of the spectrum.

They draw such little power it would make no difference in reading.
