Encoder mode and rotary encoders as tuning knobs

I understand that a timer (that supports encoder mode) can be used for keeping track of a rotary incremental encoder, but is there a good way of making the value saturating? So that when turned 'forward' the value increments to a given value and stops incrementing even if the knob is turned further, and the same way when turned 'backward' - the counter value saturates to zero.

I think Dial can be used,

everyone knows what it means,

and it doesn't have the K word.

Thanks for confirmation. That's the way I was planning to do it too.
