If set to true, show the clipping LED.
options.clipping Number <optional>
 0

If clipping is enabled, this is the threshold for the clipping effect.

options.show_hold Boolean <optional>
 false

If set to true, show the hold value LED.
options.hold_size Integer <optional>
 1

Size of the hold value LED in the number of segments.
