Testing of a given model display may require repeated use of several differ- ent formats and images in a specific order. A sequence lets you pair up formats and images to form a single test step. Your create and organize the steps to match your test procedure

for a particular display. The 802F and 802G let you manually step forward and backward through such a sequence, or the sequence can continuously cycle through all the steps, stopping for an individually defined time at each step. This mode is useful for burn-in testing or for running displays at trade shows.

More than one sequence can be stored in the generator's nonvolatile memory. The number of sequences you can store depends on the sum total of the number of steps in each sequence. A total of about 1280 - 1500 steps can be saved, depending on how many separate sequences are used.

Once you have created and stored a sequence stored in the generator, you run it using the VGM software Sequence Player. A future version of the generator firmware may permit an opera- tor to chose and run a stored sequence directly from the front panel of the generator.
