Using Test Sequencing to Test a Device

Using Test Sequencing to Test a Device
Test sequencing allows you to automate repetitive tasks. As you make a measurement, the
analyzer memorizes the keystrokes. Later you can repeat the entire sequence by pressing
a single key.
This section contains the following example sequences:
• Cascading Multiple Example Sequences on page 1-100
• Loop Counter Example Sequence on page 1-101
• Generating Files in a Loop Counter Example Sequence on page 1-102
• Limit Test Example Sequence on page 1-104

Cascading Multiple Example Sequences

By cascading test sequences, you can create subprograms for a larger test sequence. You
can also cascade sequences to extend the length of test sequences to greater than 200 lines.
In this example, you are shown two sequences that have been cascaded. You can do this by
having the last command in sequence 1 call sequence position 2, regardless of the sequence
title. Because sequences are identified by position, not title, the call operation will always
go to the sequence loaded into the given position.
