Macro reference

ClearSegments

	ClearSegments
This funtion clears all the individual segments including the decimal point segment. In simulation this sets the colours to the default BGColor component variable.
- VOID	Return

ShowCharacter

	ShowCharacter
Allows certain pre-programmed characters to be displayed. 0-9, A-Z, $, [, ], +, -, \, /, *, _, {, }, .
- BYTE	Character
0-9 or A-Z
- BYTE	DecimalPoint
0=Off, 1=On
- VOID	Return

ShowSegments

	ShowSegments
Creates the supplied digit on the 7 segment display. Macro takes the digit to display and a boolean representing whether to display the decimal point segment or not.
- BYTE	Segments0
Segment bits 0=Off 1=On : F/E/D2/D/C/B/A2/A
- BYTE	Segments1
Segment bits 0=Off 1=On : M/L/K/J/I/H/G2/G1
- BYTE	DecimalPoint
Segment bits 0=Off 1=On : DecimalPoint
- VOID	Return

Property reference

	Properties
	Display Segments
Controls the starburst display type and number of segments available.
	Display Type
Set this property to match your hardware device. Common Anode: Common Pin High, Segment Pin Low = LED On Common Cathode: Common Pin Low, Segment Pin High = LED On
	Common Mode
Controls if the display will be multiplexed or always on. Multplexed uses the common pin to switch a individual display on or off allowing for multiple displays. Always on removes the common pin assuming you are only using a single starburst display.
	Show Seg Labels
Show the identifier lables of the segments overlayed over the component.
	Connections
	Pin A
Pin connected to the 'A' segment of the display.
	Pin B
Pin connected to the 'B' segment of the display.
	Pin C
Pin connected to the 'C' segment of the display.
	Pin D
Pin connected to the 'D' segment of the display.
	Pin E
Pin connected to the 'E' segment of the display.
	Pin F
Pin connected to the 'F' segment of the display.
	Pin G1
Pin connected to the 'G1' segment of the display.
	Pin G2
Pin connected to the 'G2' segment of the display.
	Pin H
Pin connected to the 'H' segment of the display.
	Pin I
Pin connected to the 'I' segment of the display.
	Pin J
Pin connected to the 'J' segment of the display.
	Pin K
Pin connected to the 'K' segment of the display.
	Pin L
Pin connected to the 'L' segment of the display.
	Pin M
Pin connected to the 'M' segment of the display.
	Pin DP
Pin connected to the decimal point segment of the display.
	Common
Pin connection to the 'common' pin of the display - to allow enable/disable of the whole display.
	Colors
	LED Color
Color when an LED is turned on. When turned off, will use a much darker shade of the same hue.
	Bezel Color
Color of the plastic package housing the LEDs
	Label Color
Color of the optional segment name labels.
