Saving an Auto Sequence Program to File
The following procedure indicates how to save an Auto Sequence
program to a text file on the attached PC.
To save an Auto Sequence Program to a file:
1. Start the text capture by selecting Transfer>Capture Text ...
from the Hyper Terminal program.
2. Set the location and name of the auto sequence to be captured.
3. Click the Start button.
4. Execute a program read back by sending:
:PROG[<channel>]:READ?
5. Stop the text capture by selecting Transfer>Capture
Text>Stop from the Hyper Terminal program.
6. Using any text editor open the file which you captured the
Auto Sequence program to.
7. Remove the first line which should read
“:PROG[<channel>]:READ?” and the first blank line. This
makes the first line of the program the first line of the file.
8. Save the file and exit the text editor.
The Auto Sequence program has now been stored and can be sent to any
unit. See “Reloading an Auto Sequence Program” on page 5-65 for
details.
Readback and Troubleshooting an Auto Sequence Program
Since the Auto Sequence programming function records the commands
at program time without verifying the syntax, it can be difficult to spot
an error in the sequence, for example, if a typo was made when entering
a command during the record phase. A readback command has been
provided to output the stored auto sequence program currently in
memory.
