Properties
 | 
 
 | 
Display Type
 | 
| Set this according to the specification of your hardware display. Common Anode:  Pin true -> LED Off,  Pin false -> LED On Common Cathode:  Pin true -> LED On,  Pin false -> LED Off 
 | 
 
 | 
Common Type
 | 
| The state of the output common pin when the 7-segment display is active. Usually a common cathode display uses a low signal and a common anode uses a high signal. If the common pin is routed via a transistor for power amplification then the signal may need to be reversed. 
 | 
 
 | 
Show Seg Labels
 | 
| Show segment name labels overlayed over the component.
