XS series operating manual 
 
XS user manual v0.55  - 81 - 
A sequence describes an automatic or manual (see SETUP menu ) link of measurements or tests. 
Eight program lines are dedicated to the sequence description. 
Each line contains a test, a measurement, a pause or a repeat function. 
The LCD screen bottom line gives a summarized information on the active sequence (memory 
number in the LCD screen right hand side upper corner) 
A sequence can be considered as a measurement function like the insulation measurement or 
dielectric strength test. 
 
A sequence is started or stopped as a measurement function. The sequence stops if a measurement 
or a test result is failed. 
If all the tests pass, the sequence result is PASS. 
 
The contents of each line are described by 2 digits: for a function, the first digit sets for the type of test 
(M for Megohmmeter, H for Hipot, G for Ground continuity), the second digit referring to the number of 
the corresponding parameter set. 
The 2 digits ".." feature an empty line, the word "OK" a pause between 2 functions and the operator 
"x" a multiple ground continuity test. 
 
Parameter memorization  
 
The  unit  contains  10  measurement  sequences  (numbered  from  0  to  9)  including  up  to  eight 
different  test steps.  Each step  corresponds to  a test function associated  to  a  parameter set,  a 
pause  between  two  tests  or  to  the  operating  of  several  test  points  (at  least  2)  of  the  function 
defined on the previous line (multiple ground continuity).

On the above diagram, a and b represent the numbers of parameter sets associated to functions x 
and y chosen between those available (HIPOT, MEGOHM, GROUND, POINTS, and PAUSE) or 
EMPTY in case the test line is not used.
