LED Display
Component Palette Icon:
The LED display is a stylized numeric or alphanumeric label. It has three different visual styles which all correspond to a kind of physical display: 7-segment, 14-segment, and 5x7 matrix. By default this component is in numeric mode, which means you should use its Value property. If you need to display characters as well, switch the mode to alphanumeric, and use the Text property.
