Using Auto
Sequencing
Auto Sequence programs can be set to run as a Power ON default or recalled from
memory.
Auto sequence programs can operate 3 different ways:
• They can run automatically through a series of steps, repeating those steps a
pre-set number of times if necessary, and complete their operation without
intervention from an operator.
• They can run automatically and be paused. If you need to stop the program
temporarily, change its state to “PAUSE” to stop it, and then change the
program’s state to “RUN” to resume the program’s operation when ready. The
output remains on and voltage may be present at the output.
• They can run automatically programmed to wait for a trigger at certain points in
the sequence. If you want the program to resume, you can supply a trigger signal
to the rear panel Trigger input.
Select Sequence to Run
To run an auto sequence program, first select the program you wish to run:
PROGram:NAME <sequence_number>
where <sequence_number>
can range from 1 to 10.
