-The display in Fig. 8.2 appears to have LED segments in three digits simultaneously displayed. As just discussed, the cathodes of all four of the 7-segment LEDs are connected in parallel and the particular digit is selected by asserting the common anode pin high. In order to make the 4-digit display appear that all four LED digits are simultaneously on, one should make sure each digit is displayed for a minimum of 1 millisecond. Listing 7.2 provides a simple software delay. Since this delay is dependent on the speed of execution, the “ms_cnt” will need to be changed depending on the speed of the core frequency. For the example shown in Listing 7.2, the ms_cnt value of 1000 is set to generate a one ms delay when the core frequency is set to 80 MHz.+The display in Fig. 8.2 appears to have LED segments in three digits simultaneously displayed.

-  - Measure the loop execution time by toggling Pmod connector JA pin 1 at the start of the loop execution using the instruction LATCINC = 0x04. Connect a logic analyzer or oscilloscope probe to JA pin 1 and the ground or common connector to JA pin 5. The loop time is one half the period of the square wave generated at JA pin 1.  +  - Measure the loop execution time by toggling Pmod connector JA pin 1 at the start of the loop execution using the instruction LATCINV = 0x04.
