Abstract
An apparatus having a digital circuit containing a variable-modulus counter and a frequency source for rapidly cycling the variable-modulus counter through all of its states is used to produce a random sample from the set of digits through which the variable-modulus counter is cycling upon the actuation of a pushbutton-controlled sampling circuit. The sample is added to previous samples, if any, and displayed or may be cleared. A modulus selector is used to determine the modulus, or operating range, of the variable-modulus counter and may utilize any suitable commercial type device such as a rotary switch and logic gates. A synchronizer operates in response to the sample pushbutton to enable sampling counting at an appropriate instant of time.
