Operation
Deleting a File
To delete a file, press MENU, select MEMORY, and then DELETE. Next select the file name to be
deleted and press ENTER. Prior to pressing ENTER, the user can cancel this operation by pressing
ESC. After ENTER has been pressed, thus deleting the file, the next file in the "stack" becomes
the working file. If there are no files stored, the screen will state as much.

Sequence Menu

Once files have been created, the SEQUENCE MENU provides a powerful tool for the user to
create a set of files to be stepped through, either manually or in a timed manner. Up to 31 files
can be stored in the sequence; and the user can elect where to start the sequence, either at Step 1
or at some other step. If the sequence is in the manual mode, the user can use the ENCODER or
ARROW KEYS to go backward or forward in the sequence.
When no sequence has been created, the user has the option to INSERT A SEQUENCE STEP,
specify whether STEPPING is to be MANUAL or TIMED, and turn on sequence REPEAT.
Inserting a Sequence Step
Press MENU, select SEQUENCE, and then INSERT SEQUENCE STEP. Select the file to be inserted
from the list of files and press ENTER. If the SEQUENCE contains one or more steps, the user is
given the option of where to place the file in the SEQUENCE. Use the ENCODER or ARROW KEYS
to point where the file is to go.
Viewing/Starting the Sequence
Once the sequence is created, the user can view it and/or select with which file to start the
sequence. Press MENU, select SEQUENCE, then VIEW/START SEQUENCE. Highlight the file to
start the sequence and press ENTER. The sequence will then commence. The sequence step, the
number of steps in the sequence, the current file of the sequence, and the time remaining of the
current step are shown in an annunciator above the main reading on the operating screen. If
stepping is set to manual, MANUAL will be displayed instead of the time remaining.
Moving a Step in the Sequence
Once the sequence has more than one step, steps can be moved in the sequence. Press MENU,
then select SEQUENCE, then MOVE SEQUENCE STEP. Select the step to be moved, press ENTER,
