Sequencing
Test sequencing is an analyzer function that allows you to automate repetitive tasks. You can
create a sequence as you are making a measurement. Then when you want to make that same
measurement again, you can recall the sequence and the analyzer will repeat the previous
keystrokes.
The following is a list of some of the key test sequencing features available on the
HP 8753E network analyzer:
n
Limited decision-making functions increase the versatility of the test sequences you create by
allowing you to jump from one sequence to another.

You can create, title, save, and execute up to six sequences.

You can save your sequences to a disk using the internal disk drive.

You can use the parallel port as a general purpose input/output (GPIO) bus to read five
‘ITL
input bits in a decision making function, and send eight ITL output bits to control a
peripheral.
