What is a Sequence?

The normal operating mode of the 801G* uses the top knob to select a format and the bottom knob to select a test image. The production testing of a multi- mode display may require the repeated use of sev- eral different formats and images in a given order. A sequence lets you pair up formats and images to form a single test step. The steps are organized to match your test procedure for a particular display. The rotation of a single knob then allows an opera- tor to step forward and backwards through the se- quence. You can also have the sequence continuously cycle through all the steps, stopping for individu- ally defined amounts of time at each step. This mode is useful for burn-in testing or for running displays at trade shows. To make running a sequence a bit more foolproof, you can program the 801G* to power- up in the sequence mode. You can control which sequences files an operator can access in the normal operating mode.

More than one sequence file can be stored in non- volatile memory. The number of sequence files you can store depends on the number of steps in each file. A total of about 1280 to 1500 steps can be saved, depending on how many separate files are used.

Before you can use a sequence file, you need to create one. And, in order to do that, you need to use the “Sequence File” editor and “Sequence Knob direc- tory” editor.
