Abstract

The digit-capacity of display units is made smaller than that of a register storing the numeral information for indication to reduce the size and assembly cost of the apparatus equipped with the display units. To display the whole of the numeral information stored in the register, the numeral information is divided with reference to the decimal point thereof into a plurality of groups, each group being a digit number equal to the digit-capacity of the display units, and then the numeral information is displayed progressively group-to-group on the display units.
