EZ-CPU CONTROL SYSTEM PROGRAM: DESCRIPTION:

DRIVING DISPLAYS - 1
IP MODULE: OP MODULE: CPU SPEED: QSDD 1 KHz

ALPHA-NUMERIC DISPLAY Displays a series of segment codes read from a table in intervals of 0.5s.

Using indirect addressing, a list or table of segment codes can be sent to the output port. A delay to blank the display has been added to emphasise each character. This is almost exactly the same routine as for the light sequencer. Can you explain why? ADDR 00
