Timing trigger macro library

When the macro is in a broken-down form, you can change the structure.
However, when the macros are restored, all changes are lost and any
branching that is part of the original structure is restored.
Use Break Down Macros if you want to view a particular macro part in its
long form to see the exact sequence flow. Breaking down macros can also
help in creating a custom trigger specification.
When a macro is broken down, you have all the assignment fields and
branching options available as though they were a set of User macros. For
information on the assignment fields, branching, occurrence counters, and
time duration function, refer to the Chapter 4 on the mechanics of creating a
trigger level.
Timing trigger macro library
The following list contains all the macros in the library of timing trigger
macros. They are listed in the same order as they appear onscreen.
User Mode User level - custom combinations, loops
The User level is a user-definable level. This level offers low-level
configuration and uses one internal sequence level. If the "<" duration is
used, four levels are required.
Basic Macros
1. Find anystate "n" times
This macro becomes true when the first state it sees occurs "n" number of
times. It uses one internal sequence level.
2. Find pattern present/absent for > duration
This macro becomes true when it finds a designated pattern that has been
present or absent for greater than or equal to the set duration. It uses one
internal sequence level.
3. Find pattern present/absent for < duration
This macro becomes true when it finds a designated pattern that has been
present or absent for less than the set duration. It uses four or five internal
sequence levels.
