Editing an Auto Sequence Program

Introduction
H i g h performance test i nstruments such as the H P 3562A derive m uch of their
versatility and flexibil ity from the power of microprocessors. Beyond i m pressive data
handl i ng and measu rement capabi l ities, en hancements such as d i rect program ming
of front panel key seq uences
I n the H P 3562A , the Auto Seq uence program m i ng capabil ity lets you create as
microproce
many as five separate key seq uence programs for the automation of measurements,
analysis computations, plotting and mass storage. Additional Auto Seq uence pro­
grams can be stored on an external d isc for man u al recal l or recal l by another Auto
Seq uence program .
This chapter i nt roduces label l i n g , creating and editing of an Auto Sequence prog ram .
Advanced features such as ru n-time pauses and program loopi ng will also be
descri bed .

This exam ple uses the frequency response fu nction that you syn­
thesized in the previous chapter. The Auto Sequence prog ram
developed here will d isplay the synthesized response in various
formats. To start:
1. Pause the Measu rement
yellow PAUSE/CONT key once to pause the test.
2 . Activate Editor Press the AUTO SEQ key, then select the SELECT ASEQ # softkey
Press 1 on the keypad followed by the EDIT softkey
Select the LABEL ASEQ softkey The alphanumeric entry menu is
3. Create labels
activated and the front panel keys are redefined as alpha keys
(notice the blue letters and characters at the lower right of every
key, except Help).
Press the alpha keys for the letters T R A C E; press the comma
( ) key in the entry group; press the alpha keys for the letters
,
D E M O. Select the ENTER softkey (Note. an Auto Sequence
label can be two lines of up to six characters. The comma indi­
cates the separation between the first and second lines.)
4. The label appears at the top of the Auto Sequence entry area,
