Abstract

See full text

A bidirectional counting circuit for use with a transducer producing two pulses per engineering unit includes an UP/DOWN counter which receives separate UP and DOWN input pulses from the transducer through respective AND gates. A synchronizing flip-flop, which switches states in response to either an UP or DOWN pulse, alternately enables the AND gates and effectively divides the input pulses by two. The state of the flip-flop is used to control a display digit to add the suffix '5' or '0' to the displayed counter content in order to display one-half engineering unit resolution. The circuit includes automatic and manual zeroing capability and a direction indicator.
