<p>A control dial (12, 14) includes an array of spaced sensor elements (18, 20) and a display (22) located within the dial for displaying a desired control value. A controller (30) is connected to said plurality of sensor elements and to the display for controlling an end-use device (34). The controller monitors the array of spaced sensor elements so as to determine a user desired command based on user touches to the array of spaced sensor elements. The controller (30) controls the display (22) and the end-use device (34) commensurate with the determined user desired command.</p> |
