Abstract (en)

An electronic device comprises a case containing: a printed circuit board 8 having a plurality of tracks 6 and a microprocessor chip 2 programmable with software, the microprocessor chip having a plurality of ports 4 set aside for connection of none or one of more of the set aside ports on the chip to at least one of the plurality of tracks on the printed circuit board in a configuration. The case also contains a power source arranged to power the microprocessor chip and a switch 12, 26 for switching power from the power source to the microprocessor chip. There is further provided at least one display window 28, each of the at least one display windows being arranged to display successively a respective plurality of characters output from the microprocessor chip ending in the at least one respective final character to be displayed. The configuration in which the none or one or more of the plurality of ports is or are connected to the tracks of the printed circuit board determines the at least one final character to be displayed.
