EDIT Menu

Autostep Editor

Use the autostep editor to edit files with the extension of .AST. Autostep files are created by programming waveforms or sequence files. Each time a trigger signal is received, the waveform changes to the waveform for the next step, in accordance with the program. Each waveform or sequence file contains the output conditions that have been set for that file, so the output conditions can be changed for each waveform.

Files created with the autostep editor are started up using Autostep in the MODE menu. At this point of time, it is not possible to change the output parameters in the SETUP menu. Figure 3 -124 shows an example of the data and output waveform for an autostep file.
