Sequence Programming
Continue entering camera, monitor, and dwell times in this fashion until finished. If you only want to store the sequence for future use and then exit the programming mode, press Exit / Save [Prog]. Press Exit / Run [Run], to exit the programming mode, store the sequence into memory, and start the sequence running. The switcher steps through the five (5) steps in the order shown, and repeats the sequence when it reaches the last step.
To program a sequence to run once through all its steps and then stop, enter the value 62 for the dwell time in the last step and press [Enter]. The dwell display will change to STP, meaning stop. To program a sequence to run once through all its steps and then unload itself, enter the value 63 for the dwell time in the last step, and press [Enter]. The dwell display will change to ULD, meaning unload.
To edit an existing sequence, press Program Sequence [Prog], enter the existing sequence number, then press [Enter]. You can insert a line into a sequence by navi- gating down to the line where inserting a new line, and press Insert Step [ON]. A new line identical to the one you are on is added to the next step. To delete a step, navigate to the line to be deleted, and press Delete Current Step [OFF]. To delete all steps below the line you are viewing, press Delete From Here To End [Lock]. (Be careful with this feature!)
It is also possible to erase a sequence: Press Delete From Here To End [Lock] while on the first line of the sequence. Then press Delete Current Step [OFF]. The sequence will be erased, and the programming mode is automatically exited.
