Auto Sequence Programming
The Autostart Auto Sequence
The Autostart Auto Sequence
You can program one of the five auto sequences to start when power is turned on. In the editing
menu, use the LABEL ASEQ softkey and enter "AUTOST" as the first six characters of auto
sequence label. Normally, the HP 3563A starts the measurement when power is applied. AUTOST.
however, inhibits this, so you need to program the START key into AUTOST if you want it to start a
measurement at power-on.
the power-on calibration will be inhibited. If more than one auto start sequence exists, only the first
one is executed. To interrupt an autostart sequence at power-on. continually press softkey #6 (even
though it has no label) immediately after power-on.
Saving Auto Sequences I n Disc Memory
Auto sequences can be stored in disc memory both for archival purposes and to provide more
command lines. Chapter 1 1 gives instructions for connecting a disc drive and using one in general,
but several aspects of auto sequences require noting here.
First, recalled auto sequences do not have to be stored in the auto sequence table in which they were
created. For example, if you created an ASEQ
into ASEQ 5 by using DISC: RECALL FILE: TEST,5. (This would erase the original contents of
ASEQ 5, of course.) The number (1-5) after the file name and the comma indicates the table in
which you want the recalled auto sequence to be stored.
Second, an auto sequence can be recalled from disc by another auto sequence and stored into one of
the five tables. Recalled tables are then started with the appropriate START ASEQ command. For
example, you could use DISC: RECALL FILE: TE S T and AUTO SEQ: TEST as commands to recall
and start an auto sequence saved on disc.
Third, labels are not tracked, only auto sequence numbers. For example, if ASEQ
command "START ASEQ
