It would be nice if when you are configuring LEDs on a DLC247 , if the LED being edited could be illuminated so as to indicate which LED it was i.e. ABCDE etc..
Would help tremendously for those of us whose wiring is not structured in the best way or like me recently having to swap some wires around and messing up the order. I could go through swapping wires, or much easier to just reprogram the DLC.
AFAIK the only way to check which LED is configured is to actually run a game to test??

It need a while for me to unterstand how it works , but this is the way:
If you use Pin 17 for + and Pin 1 for - of the LED , this will be display 1 LED A.
Pin 17 + and Pin 2 - is LED B , Pin 17+ and Pin 3 - is LED C and so on , the last one on this group is LED "DP" , where you have to use Pin 17 for + and Pin 8 for - .

I will give you a few examples to understand the other LED groups:

19 + / 1 - is Display 3 LED A
20 + / 3 - is Display 4 LED C

and so on.....

Just look here and think about it some minutes....

Thanks for that, but I already know you can work it out by tracing wires etc..

but wouldn't it be nice (and much more user friendly) to just have the LED you are configuring light up?

Maybe, but do you really want to test 192 LED's then ....? I think this will take some minutes...

No. I want to configure 4 LEDS out of a group of 8 without tracing wires to see which is which.
Narrowing down the group is easy with the TEST function associated with each "display". Currently identifying each LED within a "display" is not easy.

For 7 segment displays the current system works fine, if you are using individual LEDS the setup could be improved.
