Numeric Displays
The Numeric Displays library contains controls that display the numerical
value of their input signal. The Generic Numeric LED and PlusMinus XX.XXX
blocks are probably the most useful blocks in this library. The next section
describes how to customize them.
The Odometer block differs from the other blocks in this library in its
appearance and dialog box. You can also customize the Odometer block.
Customizing Numeric Displays
The table below lists some common ways to customize any block in the Numeric
Displays library, except the Odometer block, using the
General panel of its
ActiveX Control Properties dialog box.
