A position monitor is provided for use in conjunction with a stepper motor wherein two imputs are provided to the monitor from the stepper motor phase windings. A first signal is provided which indicates, by pulses, the rising and falling edges of in the magnitudes of both phase winding signals. A second signal is provided to indicate the direction of rotation of the stepper motor. The first and second signals are used as inputs to a plurality of counters which maintain a digital value representing the position of the stepper rotor. The digital value is converted to an analog value and amplified for use as a signal representing, by its magnitude, the precise position of the rotor of the stepper motor. The monitor therefore maintains a digital value and outputs a voltage signal which represent the position of a stepper motor rotor as it rotates through a plurality of clockwise and/or counter-clockwise revolutions.
