Chapter 4 Waveform Creation System
Sequence Generator-Introduction
Sequence Generator (Option)
Introduction
This section explains how to program and use the optional Sequence Generator. The Sequence Generator
permits different waveforms to be repeated and/or linked with each other in any order. The list of pro-
grammed instructions for each "loop and link" series is called a Sequence. Up to 100 different
Sequences can be programmed. All sequences combined can have up to 1000 steps. Each step defines
one Waveform Number (up to 100) and the number of times it repeats (up to 1,048,575). The following
figure shows a typical sequence of waveforms. Table shows a Sequence Programming Worksheet with
sample entries corresponding to the example. A blank worksheet suitable for reproduction is located in
the Appendix.
Programming a Sequence
Before programming a sequence, be sure each desired waveform has been created and stored in a
Waveform Number location. In addition, prepare a programming worksheet in a manner similar to the
sample table. Then, follow this procedure:
1) Press
SETUP
key.
2) Press
SEQ#
softkey (F4).
3) Press
NEW
softkey (F3).
4) Select desired new sequence file number with edit knob or keypad.
5) Press
OK
(F3) to enter number or
CANC
(F4) to cancel.
6) Press
OPEN
softkey (F2). (A message "STEP=-1" indicates no steps have previously been
programmed.)
7) Press
ADDS
softkey (F3).
8) Select first step number with edit knob or keypad. (To allow for future changes to the pro-
gram, it is a good idea to leave room between step numbers, i.e., 10, 20, 30 .........etc.)
9) Select desired Waveform Number for this step with edit knob or keypad.
10) Press double-arrow key to move burst number to right side of display.
11) Set desired number of waveform repetitions with edit knob or keypad.
12) Press
OK
to enter numbers or
CANC
to cancel.
13) Select next step number, repeating steps 7 through 12 above.
14) After all steps have been programmed, view finished results by selecting Sequence Number
in Function menu and pressing
ENTER
. Additional sequences can be programmed and
stored by selecting a different sequence file number in the steps above.
