My method is to turn the knob back to when it stops moving and then it is now in a known state and I know how many clicks each setting is away.

That’s the thing it doesn’t stop. It’s just a rotary dial with the lightest detents I’ve ever felt. You just spin it and it’s a circular buffer through every setting.
