Making Measurements
Using Test Sequencing
Using Test Sequencing
Test sequencing allows you to automate repetitive tasks. As you make a measurement, the analyzer
memorizes the keystrokes. Later you can repeat the entire sequence by pressing a single key. Because the
sequence is defined with normal measurement keystrokes, you do not need additional programming
expertise. Subroutines and limited decision-making increases the flexibility of test sequences. In addition,
the GPIO outputs can be controlled in a test sequence, and the GPIO inputs can be tested in a sequence for
conditional branching.
The test sequence function allows you to create, title, save, and execute up to six independent sequences
internally. You can also save sequences to disk and transfer them from the analyzer to another analyzer or
possibly to an external computer controller (so the sequence can be sent to another analyzer).
How to Use Test Sequencing
The following procedures, which are based on an actual measurement example, show you how to do the
following:
• create a sequence
• title a sequence
• edit a sequence
• clear a sequence
• change a sequence title
• name files generated by a sequence
•store a sequence
•load a sequence
•purge a sequence
•print a sequence
Creating a Sequence
1. To enter the sequence creation mode, press:
As shown in Figure 1-79, a list of instructions appear on the analyzer display to help you create or edit a
sequence.
