Abstract
Signal level control for an amplifier or the like is provided by a binary counter which counts upward when first operated, and which thereafter counts up and down if continually operated. If the operated counter is stopped after counting up, it counts up when operated again. If the operated counter is stopped after counting down, it counts up when operated again. A digital to analog converter can provide a single control signal from the counter. The user is always assured that the single control signal will increase when the counter is operated again following a prior operation in either direction.
