4.2 Using the Sequence Function
4.2.1 Basics
By using the Sequence function, an output setting can be changed step-by-step according to a
program (sequence) created beforehand. This section describes the basics for using the
Sequence function.

AC/DC Mode and the Signal Source
The AC/DC mode and the signal source selection settings for the Sequence function are
independent to Continuous Output function/Simulation function. AC/DC mode can be
selected from AC/ACDC/DC. The signal source is fixed as INT.

Keep a sequence setting
A sequence setting is kept for each AC/DC mode. Every time the AC/DC mode is changed, the
sequence setting that is already kept is loaded. The sequence setting is cleared when the power
is turned off. To save the setting, you need to save it in internal memory or to USB memory (see
4.9
).

Step
One sequence consists of a series of two or more steps. To use the Sequence function, first set
each step.

Step-control Parameters and intra-Step Parameters
There are two major types of parameters in the Sequence function:
 Step-control parameters
These are parameters to control the flow between two or more steps. This defines the
duration of each step and the next step to transition to. Settings of step synchronous code
and trigger output are included in step-control parameter for convenience.
 Intra-Step parameters
These are parameters to define the output state in each step. The Intra-Step parameters
define basic parameters such as the waveform and frequency, and how they are changed
from step to step.
