Abstract
An electronic counter is provided for evaluating the impulses generated by digital electronic measuring system. This counter includes a register which counts the impulses generated by the digital electronic measuring system and generates a position reading, a memory unit, a comparator, and a control circuit. The control circuit is responsive to the output of the comparator and is adapted to store the position reading generated by the register in the memory unit if that reading is a more extreme value than the reading previously stored in the memory unit. In this manner, the extreme reading measured by the digital electronic measuring system during the measuring cycle is determined and stored in the memory unit.
