A sequence is a functional component that allows a user to execute a variety of other functional component in sequence. In addition a user can also execute commands to various SCPI devices within the sequence. Sequences are useful for executing multiple calibrations automatically. Such as in running a baseline calibration and then extending the reference plane to the DUT in one operation. A sequence can also be used to automate execution of specific individual commands to defined devices such as setting switch positions or setting calibration device states.

Sequence items are comprised of:

  • An identifier
  • A component name
  • Execution data

The items are listed in the sequence configuration in the order in which they are to be executed and run. The number of items allowed in a sequence is not limited and a sequence may contain as many items as the user requires.

For an example and more details please see the chapter on Sequence Configuration.
