STEP sequence STEP number
Classification: Sequence parameter setting
Command Syntax: STEP <step#>
Limits: <step>
min = 1
max = See description
Query Syntax: STEP?
Query Response: <step>
Description: The STEP command selects a step in the sequence edit buffer.
It is context sensitive. While editing a sequence (between SEQB
and SEQE commands), the STEP command selects a step to be
edited. Outside of the sequence editor and while running a
sequence, the command selects a step to be executed.
When running a sequence, the maximum limit for the step number
is the number of the last step in the sequence. When editing a
sequence to be saved in memory, the maximum number of steps
will depend upon the generator firmware version as well as
how many other sequences are stored in sequence memory and
how many steps they contain. Generators with firmware versions
below 2.605 can store a total of about 400 sequence steps.
Generators with firmware versions greater than or equal to 2.605
can store a total of about 1280 sequence steps. The STEP? query
returns the current setting of STEP.
Other Required Cmds: When running a sequence, the SEQU command must be executed
after the STEP command to load the format and display the
image selected in the step.
Example: STEP 5 // Select fifth step in current
// sequence
SEQU // Load format and draw image in
// current step
