Save the Subsequence
Do the following steps to save the subsequence table information to the file
SUBSEQ.seq:
1. Push the File bottom button.
2. Push the Save As... side button.
The Input Filename dialog box appears.
3. Enter the file name SUBSEQ.seq into the file name field and save the file.
Refer to Save the Waveform on page 2-60 for more information.
Create the Main Sequence
In this procedure you will create the main sequence list shown in Table 2-18. The
sequence list contains line numbers that relate to specific functions:
Line 1: waits for trigger event. When a trigger event occurs, this line calls the
subsequence file SUBSEQ.seq twice, and then goes to line 2.
Line 2: infinitely outputs the ramp waveform until an event occurs. When an
event occurs, the sequence jumps to line 3.
Line 3: outputs the triangle waveform 40,000 times. When the output
completes, the sequence goes back to the line 1. If an event occurs before this
line completes execution, the sequence jumps to line 4.
Line 4: outputs the sine waveform 60,000 times and then stops executing.
Do the following steps to create the main sequence:
1. Follow steps 1 and 2 in Open the Sequence Editor on page 2-72 to open a new
sequence table.
2. Fill in the CH1 and Repeat Count columns for lines 1 through 4 according to
Table 2-18.
Refer to steps 1 through 12 beginning on page 2-73 of this tutorial if you need
help. To set Inf. in the Repeat Count of line 2, push the Infinity (SHIFT + )
side button once.
3. Repeatedly push the y button to go back to the Line 1.
