7D15 Character Display


 

I have a 7D15 mounted in my 7904A and have noticed that the numeral "8" appears to be displayed in a strange way (to my view anyway).

Whereas all other numerals are displayed in a nicely rounded fashion (ie not precisely in squared-up LED 7-segment layout), the 8 shows like a H, with a flat top and bottom, and without any character rounding. So it always looks like a 7-seg display number rather than an alpha-numeric display.

Is this normal, am I paranoid, or is there an issue either in the 7D15 or the 7904A readout system? It does not matter in which character position the 8 is shown; so 88888 for example will always show as a series of Hs with flat tops and bottoms.

This of course is something you won't see on the regular PI readout displays because it is always 1,2,5 etc or mV, mS etc. 8 is the only character showing any form of "abnormality".

Is this normal or not?
