IOCard Displays II Manual Software installation and configuration: Already knows how to check Displays II cards and 7-segment displays, now we have to program it on SIOC, we will need following software: SIOC, Flight Simulator as FS2004, FS2009, FSX, Xplane, etc., Necessary plugins for simulator, Etc.
IOCard Displays II Manual Special characters and brightness: To visualize special characters we can use specific codes on SIOC as shown: -999999 = digit off, -999998 = digit shows "-", -999997 = digit shows "6" (with upper segment on), -999996 = digit shows "t", -999995 = digit shows "d",...
