Table 3-33: Sequence table columns

Column

Description

Sequence file name

Remains blank if you have not saved the sequence once after opening a

new file.

Line

Sequence line number. It is assigned automatically here as a result of

the addition or deletion of a line.

CH1

Specifies the waveform (.WFM or .PAT) or sequence file to output on

CH 1 for that line of the sequence table.
A sequence file may be specified for an output file. You can only nest

sequence files one level.
The waveform file name cannot contain a drive or directory name. The

sequence file and all waveform files called must be accessible at the

same directory level. If the waveform file name fields for CH1 is blank

on a sequence line, or the instrument cannot locate a specified file, the

instrument displays an error message and aborts loading the sequence

file. Remember that file names are case sensitive.
The data length of each waveform file used for the sequence process

must be a multiple of 8 from 512 points to 8.1 M points. For sequence

output, the total of data length of the waveforms must not exceed 8.1 M

points.

Repeat Count

Specifies the number of repeats. You may specify any integer from 1 to

65536, or select the keyword Infinity. The Infinity setting is neglected in

a nested sequence file (subsequence).

Wait Trigger

Causes the instrument to wait for a trigger event before outputting the

waveform(s) on the specified sequence table line. Valid values are On

and Off (blank). Wait Trigger functionality is only valid when the Run

Mode is set to Enhanced. This setting is neglected in the subsequence.

Goto One

Specifies whether control jumps to the head of the sequence table after

outputting. Valid values are On or Off (blank). Goto One functionality is

only valid when the Run Mode is set to Enhanced. This setting is

neglected in the subsequence.
Note that, for the last line of the sequence table, this setting is always

ON independently of the setting.

Logic Jump

Specifies the sequence table to jump to a specified line depending on

signal values on the EVENT IN connector. You may specify Next (go to

the next line) or Off (blank) as well as specify the sequence line number

for the destination. Selecting Off means that the line that is currently

being edited is set as a jump address. For example, when an event

occurs during theĂoutput ofĂthe waveform set in the line 5 with jump off,

the waveform in the line 5 is output again from the top. This field

remains gray if the Jump Mode is set to Table or Software. This setting

is neglected in the subsequence or when the jump mode is set to

Software.
