Sequencing
Test sequencing
allows
you to automate repetitive tasks. As you make a measurement, the
analyzer memorizes the keystrokes. Later you can repeat the entire sequence by pressing a
single key. Because the sequence is defined with normal measurement keystrokes, you do not
need additional programming expertise. Subroutines and limited decision-making increases the
flexibility of test sequences. In addition, the GPIO outputs can be controlled in a test sequence,
and the GPIO inputs can be tested in a sequence for conditional branching. For in-depth
sequencing information, refer to “Test Sequencing” in Chapter 6, “Application and Operation
Concepts.
n
The test sequence function allows you to create, title, save, and execute up to six independent
sequences internally.
You can also save sequences to disk and transfer them between the analyzer and an external
computer controller.
The following procedures, which are based on an actual measurement example, show you how
to do the following:
n
create a sequence
n
title a sequence
w
edit a sequence
n
clear a sequence
w
change a sequence title
w
name
files
generated by a sequence
n
store a sequence
w
load a sequence
n
purge a sequence
n
print a sequence
There are
also
three example sequences:
n
cascading multiple sequences
n
loop counter sequence
n
limit test sequence
