4.7.3 SequencerModes
The sequencer supports four different modes, which can be activated in the xml-le via a
combination of features BoSequencerRunOnce and BoSequencerFreeRun :
Mode Activation Description
ONCE BY TRIGGER BoSequencerRunOnce = 1
BoSequencerFreeRun = 0
The sequencer will run one complete
cycle (m sequences). It is started by an
incoming trigger event.
ONCE FREE BoSequencerRunOnce = 1
BoSequencerFreeRun = 1
The sequencer will run one complete
cycle (m sequences). It is started di-
rectly.
CYCLE BY TRIGGER BoSequencerRunOnce = 0
BoSequencerFreeRun = 0
The sequencer will run continuously. It
is started by an incoming trigger event.
CYCLE FREE BoSequencerRunOnce = 0
BoSequencerFreeRun = 1
The sequencer will run continuously. It
is started directly.
Modality4.7.4
In general, the procedure of sequencer integration is:
a) Sequencer activation via
BoSequencerEnable
Setting selector for “set of parameters” to minimum via b) BoSequencerSetSelector
Adjustment of parameters via c) BoSequencerExposure and BoSequencerGain
Setting sequencer run mode via d) BoSequencerRunOnce and BoSequencerFreeRun
Denitions of “set of parameters” repetition via e) BoSequencerSetRepeats
Adjustment of f) loop counter via BoSequencerLoops
Starting sequencer by g) BoSequencerStart
To indicate several sets of parameters, steps b) and c) should be repeated.
Here it is important to number the selectors continously and leave no gaps in the numera-
tion. The last congured set of parameters will also be last in the sequence.
