The Parallel port will have conected 2 to 3 (all depends) 4 to 16 bit decoders/demultiplexers that will control 1 display at a time so there will be up to 48 displays controled by the paralel port refreshe X times per second, a raw test shown that it can be done but when other task come the refresh time is degraded, Im trying to avoid the use of an external microprocesor but that will be the last resource,

Question, which may/may not affect what you are doing:

Are the 7 segments of the LED being turned on and left on, or are you using PCM etc to refresh them X times per second?

Hello List.

I'm developing an aplication that will be runign on an infinite loop controling 7 segment display conected to a parallel port, in order to make the cicle trough al the display as faster as posible I want ot be shure what can be the best method based on the following requeriments.

The aplication will show data on a Window, that data will be redrawn every time it changes on it source that is not frecuently The aplication will show that data also on the Displays conected to the Parallel port.

What is faster read data from a text field on the main window or have a copy of that on an array and read from there to display data to the 7 segment Displays? nanoseconds here count, because a delay can unhide the illusion of cilcing trough the displays
