What is a Sequence?
The normal operating mode of the 801G* uses the
top knob to select a format and the bottom knob to
select a test image. The production testing of a multi-
mode display may require the repeated use of sev-
eral different formats and images in a given order.
A sequence lets you pair up formats and images to
form a single test step. The steps are organized to
match your test procedure for a particular display.
The rotation of a single knob then allows an opera-
tor to step forward and backwards through the se-
quence. You can also have the sequence continuously
cycle through all the steps, stopping for individu-
ally defined amounts of time at each step. This mode
is useful for burn-in testing or for running displays
at trade shows. To make running a sequence a bit
more foolproof, you can program the 801G* to power-
up in the sequence mode. You can control which
sequences files an operator can access in the normal
operating mode.
More than one sequence file can be stored in non-
volatile memory. The number of sequence files you
can store depends on the number of steps in each
file. A total of about 1280 to 1500 steps can be saved,
depending on how many separate files are used.
Before you can use a sequence file, you need to create
one. And, in order to do that, you need to use the
“Sequence File” editor and “Sequence Knob direc-
tory” editor.
