STEP

sequence STEP number

Classification:

Sequence parameter setting

Command Syntax:

STEP <step#>

Limits:

<step>

 

min = 1

 

max = See description

Query Syntax:

STEP?

Query Response:

<step>

Description:

The STEP command selects a step in the sequence edit buffer.

 

It is context sensitive. While editing a sequence (between SEQB

 

and SEQE commands), the STEP command selects a step to be

 

edited. Outside of the sequence editor and while running a

 

sequence, the command selects a step to be executed.

 

When running a sequence, the maximum limit for the step number

 

is the number of the last step in the sequence. When editing a

 

sequence to be saved in memory, the maximum number of steps

 

will depend upon the generator firmware version as well as

 

how many other sequences are stored in sequence memory and

 

how many steps they contain. Generators with firmware versions

 

below 2.605 can store a total of about 400 sequence steps.

 

Generators with firmware versions greater than or equal to 2.605

 

can store a total of about 1280 sequence steps. The STEP? query

 

returns the current setting of STEP.

Other Required Cmds:

When running a sequence, the SEQU command must be executed

 

after the STEP command to load the format and display the

 

image selected in the step.
