Parts Buzzer Properties dialog box


This property dialog box is used to set or change the pin connection information of a buzzer, which is one of the connection parts in the I/O Panel window.

The pin-connected buzzer displays the information output from the connected pins as a bitmap in the Simulation mode.

The buzzer output can be checked as "display".

There are two types of buzzer display styles, figure and bitmap. These styles can be changed on the [[Style] tab].
