Is there a particular reason or convention which says I should display the MS or LS digit first on a multiplexed numeric display?
Any display multiplexing hints or tips from the infinitely more experienced (or more educated!) than me?
I'm using a PIC to output bcd with a clock signal, and with an input to sync to an end digit. Bcd to 7-seg converter, with some gates to pull off extra values for symbols. Display might be a (surplus) vfd (I wanted Panaplex, but have you seen the price of those things?!) or I was even thinking about nixie tubes - but I digress.
TIA, as always
