96 Chapter 6 Working with Test Sequences
3. Depending on the mode of the sequence, the sequence will start automatically, or you
need to turn the Image knob to move forward and backward though the sequence.
The LCD will display the format and image name for each step, and the current step
number. Additional status information may appear before the step number, depending
on the mode (manual, automatic, wrap).
A manual mode sequence can be set to continuously cycle through all the steps, by
rotating the bottom knob a full turn clockwise beyond the last step. A message on the
LCD will confirm that the continuous cycle is running. The cycle is stopped by rotating
the bottom knob counter-clockwise. The generator will remember if the sequence was
in continuous cycle on power down. If so, it will continuous cycle on power on.
If multiple sequences have been defined, use the Format knob to load other
sequences.
Note: When controlling the generator from a program, it is possible to make any
sequence the “Power-on” sequence without having it appear on the sequence knob
directory. In this case, the generator will power-up in the sequence mode with the
selected sequence, but loading a different sequence file with the Format knob, will not
allow you to get back to the original power-up sequence file.
Cancelling the start-up sequence modeIf the generator has been configured to run a sequence at start-up, and you want the
generator to start in normal operating mode, you need to power the generator up while
indicating “no special modes” (press and hold the ACS, DCS and DSS keys).
