PLZ-4WL
Sequence Function
The sequence function automatically executes instructions specified in advance one
operation at a time. A variety of waveform simulations can be executed through the
specification of a sequence of operations (steps). The sequence that you create is saved by
the backup function even when the power is turned off.
Normal sequences and fast sequences
The sequence function enables you to use two types of sequences: normal sequences and
fast sequences.
■
Normal sequences
For normal sequences, an execution time is assigned to each step. Up to 10 programs can
be saved, and the maximum number of steps that can be contained in all programs combined
is 256 steps. You can include commands to unpause the PLZ-4WL after it has been paused
through the pressing of PAUSE or through an external trigger signal.
■
Fast sequences
For fast sequences, the execution time of each step is determined by the TIME BASE
(execution interval) setting. Each step has the same interval. The maximum number of steps
is 1024. The high time resolution enables you to create high-speed simulations. You can save
one fast sequence program.
