Parts Segment LED Properties dialog box


This property dialog box is used to set or change the pin connection information of 7-segment LED and 14-segment LED, which are one of the connection parts in the I/O Panel window.

A LED connected to pins displays the information output from the simulator in the Simulation mode.

The segment LED display styles can be changed on the [[Style] tab].

This section describes the following.

[How to open]

On the I/O Panel window, any one of the following:

-

Double-click a part object "7-segment LED"/"14-segment LED".

-

Select [Properties...] form the context menu on a part object "7-segment LED"/"14-segment LED".

-

Select a part object "7-segment LED"/"14-segment LED", and then select [Properties...] form the [View] menu.

(1)

Pin connection information setting area

Label

This area is used to specify the part name. The part name input here is also displayed in the Parts List dialog box as the label.

Grid type

Select the grid signal allocation method from the following.

As a result of the selection, the setting in the Digit signal setting area changes.

Digit

Connects each segment LED to 1 grid pin. Digit signal settings are performed in the Digit signal setting area (default).

16 digits can be specified for the digit signal. A segment LED of up to 16 digits can be created with 1 segment LED part.

Customize

Cannot be selected.

(2)

Segment signal setting area

Segment Signal

This area is used to specify the pins (output pins) to be connected to the

segment signals of the 7-segment LED/14-segment LED, as well as their active level.

Figure

This area displays the bitmap of the 7-segment LED/14-segment LED at the top left. When "Pin Name:" is input, the corresponding location is indicated.

Pin Name

The connection pins can be specified either via direct input or through selection from the drop-down list.

The number of segment pins to be connected is 8 in the case of a 7-segment LED, and 15 in the case of a 14-segment LED. Connection to all the segment pins is possible by using the scroll bar on the right side.

Active Level

The active status can be selected with a option button, as follows:

LOW

Sets the active level to LOW.

HIGH

Sets the active level to HIGH (default).

Remark

For the pin names that can be specified, see the user's manual of the microcontroller that is used.

Digit signal setting area

Digit Signal

This area is used to specify 7-segment LED/14-segment LED digits, grid signal connection pins (output pins), and their active level. The connection method changes as follows according to what is specified for [Grid type].

When [Digit] selected

Perform digit signal setting. The maximum number of digit pins that can be connected is 16. Connection to all the digit pins can be done by using the scroll bar on the right side of the area.

When [Customize] selected

Cannot be selected.

Pin Name

The connection pins can be specified either via direct input or through selection from the drop-down list. As the setting signal, specify the connection pins in a series from the lowermost digit.

Active Level

The active status can be selected with a option button, as follows:

LOW

Sets the active level to LOW.

HIGH

Sets the active level to HIGH (default).

Remark

For the pin names that can be specified, see the user's manual of the microcontroller that is used.

[[Style] tab]

Style information setting area

Full up LED

This area is used to set and change related to the filling of each cell of the object are performed. You can change the color by clicking the pull-down button.

Active Color

Specifies the fill color during active display.

Inactive Color

Specifies the fill color during inactive display.

Frame Line of LED

This area is used to set and change related to the frame of each cell of the object are performed.

Color of Line

Specifies and changes the line color.

You can change the color by clicking the pull-down button.

Dotted/Solid Line

Specifies and changes the line shape (dotted/solid).

The desired line shape can be selected from the drop-down list.

The line shape can be specified only when the line thickness is "1" in [Thickness of Line].

Thickness of Line

Specifies and changes the line thickness.

The desired line thickness can be specified either via direct input or through selection from the spin button.A value in the range of 1 to 100 (decimal) can be specified.

[Function buttons]

Button

Function

OK

Validates the settings and closes this dialog box.

Cancel

Cancels the settings and closes this dialog box.

Apply

Cannot be selected.

Help

Displays the help for this dialog box.

[Operation]

In the Simulation mode, as the results of 1 simulation, the output information of the connection pins is received and display is performed accordingly. When both the digit/grid signals and segment signals are active output, the segment LED of the corresponding digit/grid light.
