This option determines whether turning of the sequence will stop it immediately, or it
will last up until the end of the loop.
If you click with the right mouse button into the table, additional functions are offered:
Delete step Deletes the step on which you clicked with the right mouse
button. All other steps are shifted one row upwards. The
step number is not changed. This needs to be adjusted if
necessary.
Insert step Inserts a new step before the step, on which you clicked
with the right mouse button. All other steps are shifted one
row downwards. The step number is not changed. This
needs to be adjusted if necessary.
Copy this output to

The complete sequence from an output can be copied with
this command to another output.
Export complete

Use this to save a complete sequence in a file (*.seq) on
your hard disk.
Import complete

This opens a saved sequence (*.seq) again.
You can see two simple examples for output sequences on the picture at page 60:
Output sequence 1:
This sequence is a simple rotating light with 3 lamps/LEDs. In the first step only
output 1 is switched on. In the second step output 1 goes off again, and output 2 is
switched on. In the third step output 2 is switched off and output 3 is switched on.
After the third step, the sequence starts from the beginning and output 1 is switched
on again. In this way, the light almost “turns” in a “circle”.
Output sequence 2:
This example shows a simple fluorescent lighting simulation. Here is only one output
used, however, the lamp switches not only on and off but it simulates the typical start
of a fluorescent lamp.
In step 1, the intensity is set to a small value (5%). This is supposed to represent the
preliminary annealing of the tube. In step 2 the lamp tries to ignite, so it becomes
shortly brighter (50%), but it does not make it yet and it becomes darker in step 3
again (5%). In step 4 is another ignition attempt (75%) which does not succeed.
Therefore, the intensity in step 5 is set back to 5%. Only in step 6 succeeds the
"tube" to ignite. The beginning and the end of the loop are now set exactly to this step
6. Thus, the sequence now plays only this step 6 (lamp on) as long as the sequence
is turned on. Only when the sequence is turned off, the steps 7 to 10 are reached
and the lamp goes off in several stages (80% Æ 60% Æ 40% Æ 20% Æ 0%).
These are just simple examples. Of course you can also expand such sequences
much further to achieve even incredible effect.
