Making Measurements
Using Test Sequencing to Test a Device
• The plot file names generated by this sequence will be:
PL00007.FP
through
PL00001.FP
To run the sequence, press:
This measurement example shows you how to create a sequence that will branch the
sequence according to the outcome of a limit test. Refer to "Using Limit Lines to Test a
Device" on page 1-72, for a procedure that shows you how to create a limit test.
For this example, you must have already saved the following in register 1:
• device measurement parameters
• a series of active (visible) limit lines
• an active limit test
1. To create a sequence that will recall the desired instrument state, perform a limit test,
and branch to another sequence position based on the outcome of that limit test, press:
This will create a displayed list for sequence 1, as shown:
Start of Sequence
RECALL REG 1
IF LIMIT TEST PASS THEN DO
SEQUENCE 2
IF LIMIT TEST FAIL THEN DO
SEQUENCE 3
2. To create a sequence that stores the measurement data for a device that has passed the
limit test, press:
