Appendix G: Sequence File Text Format
The sequence file saved by the sequence editor is an ASCII text file having the
format described below. You can create a sequence file on a PC or other computer
with an ASCII text editor.

Header
The header line MAGIC 3002A lets the instrument recognize a text file as the
sequence. This number must be added to the first line.
Line Descriptions
The LINES provides the information that the sequence is composed of a number of
lines. From the third line to the line specified by <number> +2 are the sequence
lines you should edit in the in the sequence editor.
The <line description> is composed of 6 fields delimited by comma (,):
<F1>, <F2>, <F3>, <F4>, <F5>, <F6>, <F7>
CH1 and CH2. The <F1> is a waveform file name for the CH1 and <F2> for the
CH2. The waveform file name must be parenthesized with double–quotation.
<F1>::=
<F2>::="<waveform file name>" | "<pattern file name>" |
"<sequence file name>"
