through the steps and you may use your own method for the Sequence Table.
From the main Status Window, go to Sequence, then select Edit/Delete.
This will open the Sequence Edit Screen. Here you will set the method names, and the number of injections for
each method.
Click Create Sequence.
Type a Name for your Sequence. For this example, type “Tutorial 1” and click OK.
The Pinnacle PCX software has now added the Sequence “Tutorial 1” to the list of available sequences. Highlight
this sequence if it is not already done so.
Under Method Name, there is a drop down menu. Choose the Method “Tutorial”.
