6.8.3 Slow Sequences
Priority of a slow sequence (SlowSequence)in the datalogger will vary, depending upon
whether the datalogger is executing its program in pipeline mode or sequential mode. With the
important exception of measurements, when running in pipeline mode all sequences in the
program have the same priority. When running in sequential mode, the main scan has the
highest priority for measurements, followed by background calibration (which is automatically
run in a slow sequence), then the first slow sequence, the second slow sequence, and so on. The
effects of this priority are negligible; however, since, once the tasks begin running, each task is
allotted a 10 msec time slice, after which, the next task in the queue runs for 10 msec. The
datalogger cycles through the queue until all instructions for all sequences are complete.
