This program will send a 12 V square wave with 120 seconds 50% duty cycle. When the program is finished, the dwell time is restored to 0 seconds.

Saving an Auto Sequence Program to File:

The following procedure indicates how to save an Auto Sequence program to a text file on the attached PC.

To save an Auto Sequence Program to a file:

1.Start the text capture by selecting Transfer>Capture Text … from the Hyper Terminal program.

2.Set the location and name of the auto sequence to be captured.

3.Click the Start button.

4.Execute a program read back by sending:

:PROG[<channel>]:READ?

5.Stop the text capture by selecting Transfer>Capture Text>Stop from the Hyper Terminal program.

6.Using any text editor open the file which you captured the Auto Sequence program to.

7.Remove the first line which should read ":PROG[<channel>]:READ?" and the first blank line. This makes the first line of the program the first line of the file.

8.Save the file and exit the text editor.

The Auto Sequence program has not been stored and can be sent to any unit. See “Reloading an Auto Sequence Program:” on page 5–63 for details.

Readback and Troubleshooting an Auto Sequence Program:

Since the Auto Sequence programming function records the commands at program time without verifying the syntax, it can be difficult to spot an error in the sequence, for example, if a typo was made when entering a command during the record phase. A readback command has been provided to output the stored auto sequence program currently in memory.
