Sequence
Programming
and
Operation
As many as thirty stored setups can be organized into one or more sequences to
be sequentially recalled by the STEP/AUTO button. Unless otherwise defined, all thirty
setups can be recalled in one sequence.
A sequence is defined as a contiguous group of saved setups, where the first
setup includes the BEGIN attribute and the last setup includes the END attribute. The
Sequence-Save mode provides access to the BEGIN/END attributes and provides
sequence editing facilities to REPLACE, INSERT, and DELETE setups.
Pressing SAVE establishes the Direct-Save mode, as described in the "Operation"'
section.
Pressing STEP then establishes the Sequence-Save mode. The readout
shows a definition mode, a step attribute, a setup number, the "NAME:" prompt, and
the name argument in the top row and a HELP message in the bottom row. (If the
Direct-Save mode displays "SAVE FUNCTIONS DISABLED" or if the Sequence-Save
mode displays "SEQUENCE DEFINITION DISABLED," refer to EXER 07. described in
Appendix A.)
Top Row - REPLACE STEP :nn NAME:xxxxxxx
or - REPLACE BEGIN :nn NAME:xxxxxxx
or -- REPLACE END :nn NAME:xxxxxxx
Bottom Rows - PUSH STEP TO REPLACE SETUP.
PUSH SAVE FOR HELP.
Ji REF moves a cursor to the definition mode
field,
the step attribute
field,
the
setup number
field,
or any character in the NAME argument. The A control selects a
definition mode, REPLACE, INSERT, or DELETE; a step attribute, STEP, BEGIN, or
END;
a setup number, 1-30; or a character for each position of the setup name.
The initial definition mode is REPLACE. Initial values of the step attribute and setup
NAME are the values previously stored at the selected setup number, unless NAME
was changed in the Direct-Save mode. The initial value of the setup number is one
more than the previously defined or selected setup. The cursor initially remains in the
NAME argument, as it was in the Direct-Save mode.
When STEP is pressed in the REPLACE definition mode, the current instrument
setup,
with the displayed step attribute and the displayed NAME, if the NAME has
been changed, replaces setup "nn."
A step with the BEGIN attribute begins a sequence of setups. END defines a step
that ends a sequence.
