Abstract
There is provided an improvement in a digital counting system including a digital counter which counts up when an incoming pulse is received on one terminal and counts down when an incoming pulse is received on another terminal and means for passing five of six incoming pulses to each of the terminals. This type of counting system is used in totalizing time when driven by a sixty cycle line current. The improvement is the provision of a sequence control means for both the up and down incoming pulses to inhibit one out of each six pulses at identical progressively totalized counting positions so that the up/down counter tracks identically as it is counting up and down.
