Using Test Sequencing
Changing the Sequence Title
If you are storing sequences on a disk, you should replace the default titles (SEQ1,
SEQ2, …).
1. To select a sequence that you want to retitle, press:
and select the particular sequence softkey.
The analyzer shows the available title characters. The current title is displayed in the
upper-left corner of the screen.
2. You can create a new file name in two ways:
• If you have an attached DIN keyboard, you can press the f6 function key on the
keyboard and type the new file name.
• If you do not have an attached DIN keyboard, press and turn the
front panel knob to point to the characters of the new file name, pressing
as you stop at each character.
The analyzer cannot accept a title (file name) that is longer than eight characters. Your
titles must also begin with a letter, and contain only letters and numbers.
3. To complete the titling, press .
Naming Files Generated by a Sequence
The analyzer can automatically increment the name of a file that is generated by a
sequence using a loop structure. (See example "Loop counter decision making" on page
1-113.)
To access the sequence file name menu, press:
•
•
•
This menu presents two choices:
• supplies a name for the saved state or data file. This also brings
up the Title File Menu.
• supplies a name for the plot file generated by a plot-to-disk
command. This also brings up the Title File Menu.
These keys show the current file name in the 2nd line of the softkey.
When titling a file for use in a loop function, you are restricted to only 2 characters in the
file name due to the 6 character length of the loop counter keyword “[LOOP].” When the
file is actually written, the [LOOP] keyword is expanded to only 5 ASCII characters
(digits), resulting in a 7 character fi le n a m e.
After entering the 2 character file name, press:
