I have a shaft encoder that I want to interface to an 80c31 mpu for use in
digital setting circles for my telescope.  What I would like to be able to do 
is to connect one phase if the encoder to int1 and the other phase to T1 on 
the mpu.. That way when the mpu interrupts on int1 I can test T1 to determine
the direction.  My problem is that the outputs on the encoder are triangular,
 do I need to convert this to square wave?

 Thanks for any help
