Property reference

	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.
	Connections
	Common Pin 0
Pin to enable the first digit.
	Common Pin 1
Pin to enable the second digit.
	Common Pin 2
Pin to enable the third digit.
	Common Pin 3
Pin to enable the fourth digit.
	Pin0 (A)
Pin for the 'A' segments of the displays.
	Pin1 (B)
Pin for the 'B' segments of the displays.
	Pin2 (C)
Pin for the 'C' segments of the displays.
	Pin3 (D)
Pin for the 'D' segments of the displays.
	Pin4 (E)
Pin for the 'E' segments of the displays.
	Pin5 (F)
Pin for the 'F' segments of the displays.
	Pin6 (G)
Pin for the 'G' segments of the displays.
	Pin7 (DP)
Pin for the decimal points of the displays.
