This is a Common Cathode 7 Segment display example.

Example:

    'Chip model
    #chip 16f1783,8

    'Output ports for the 7-segment device
    #define DISP_SEG_A PORTC.0
    #define DISP_SEG_B PORTC.1
    #define DISP_SEG_C PORTC.2
    #define DISP_SEG_D PORTC.3
    #define DISP_SEG_E PORTC.4
    #define DISP_SEG_F PORTC.5
    #define DISP_SEG_G PORTC.6

    ' This is the usage of the SEG_DOT for decimal point support
    ' An optional third parameter of '1' will turn on the decimal point
    ' of that digit when using DisplayValue command
    #define DISP_SEG_DOT PortC.7

    'Select ports for the 7-segment device
    #define Disp_Sel_1 PortA.1
    #define Disp_Sel_2 PortA.2
    #define Disp_Sel_3 PortA.3
