How do single adjustable shocks work?

Single-Adjustable Shocks It is single-adjustable in that there is one knob to turn through 16 clicks of adjustment. On the other hand, each click adjusts both rebound damping (the shock coming apart) and compression damping (the shock coming together) at the same time.
