Figure 3-10, the Sequence Table
The Sequence Table is demonstrated in Figure 3-10. To access the
Sequence table, click anywhere on the Sequence Table area. If it
was not yet, it will turn white as opposed to the Segment Table area
that turns gray.
There are four major elements that you should consider while
programming a sequence table. They are: Link, Seg, Loops and
Adv. These terms are explained below.
Link - This parameter defines an index array for the sequence
generator. When generating sequences, the instrument steps
though the links in descending order therefore, make sure that you
enter your waveform segments in exactly the order you would like
them at the output.
Seg - This parameter associates waveform segments with links.
You can use different segments for different links or you can use
the same segment for a number of links. There are no limitations
how you associate links to segments, except you cannot program in
the sequence table segments that were not defined earlier.
Loops – This parameter define how many times the segment will
loop for the selected link. For example, if you program 2, the
waveform will cycle twice through the same segment before
transitioning to the next link.
