Abstract

Abstract Device for generating an instruction signal for demanding the digitally measured value of displacement to be transferred from the measuring station to the memory of an automatic digital readout apparatus. The measuring station generates a counting pulse successively each time the displacement reaches a measuring unit so as to be applied to the electronic counter of the automatic digital readout apparatus so that the digitally indicated measured value corresponding to the displacement is generated therein. A detecting pulse is generated when the displacement reaches the desired measuring point thereof, and this detecting pulse is applied to the electronic counter so as to permit the digitally indicated measured value provided therein at the measuring point of the displacement to be transferred to the memory whenever the interference period of the electronic counter elapses, in which interference period the electronic counter can not provide the correct digitally indicated measured value due to the counting operation therein.
