Using Auto Auto Sequence programs can be set to run as a Power ON default or recalled from Sequencing memory.

Auto sequence programs can operate 3 different ways:

They can run automatically through a series of steps, repeating those steps a pre-set number of times if necessary, and complete their operation without intervention from an operator.

They can run automatically and be paused. If you need to stop the program temporarily, change its state to “PAUSE” to stop it, and then change the program’s state to “RUN” to resume the program’s operation when ready. The output remains on and voltage may be present at the output.

They can run automatically programmed to wait for a trigger at certain points in the sequence. If you want the program to resume, you can supply a trigger signal to the rear panel Trigger input.

Select Sequence to Run

To run an auto sequence program, first select the program you wish to run:

PROGram:NAME <sequence_number>

where <sequence_number> can range from 1 to 10.
