Instrumentation-fest

This month there are three themed articles on creating instrumentation components. Seven-segment LED displays are clear to read and popular for creating digital readouts for process-control, counters and clocks. This first of three articles creates a seven-segment LED component that shows an extended numeric character set for the display of decimal and hexadecimal numbers.
