UP/DOWN COUNTER INTERFACE MEANS

An up/down counter interface converts input information suitable for the operation of one type up/down counter, which type receives input information in the form of a direct current logic signal indicating direction and a train of electric pulses representing increments of information, to input information suitable for the operation of a second type up/down counter, which second type receives input information in the form of two identical pulse trains representing increments of information, direction being determined by the relative displacement in time of the two pulse trains.
