Defining a Sequence

A sequence defines a series of SCPI commands with an associated name.
When the sequence is first defined, the commands are compiled and then
stored in a compressed format in non- volatile memory. The following SCPI
commands are allowed in a sequence definition (all other commands will
generate an error).

proper syntax and absolute parameter range limits. If an error is
detected during compilation, the entire sequence will be discarded.
During compilation, the sequence commands do not have to be valid for
the current instrument configuration; this allows you to define
sequences without regard to compatibility with the current set of
installed modules. More extensive error checking, such as channel range
expansion and validation, is performed when the sequence is executed.
