#!F-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--18* #!N #!CSeaGreen #!N #!Rsequen Using the Sequencer #!N #!EC #!N #!N The Sequencer allows you to "animate" a visual image and is very easy to use. The process is rather like running a video cassette tape: You can play it forward or backward, stop it, pause, and so on. The Sequencer Control panel consists of 8 buttons as shown in #!Lvcrcon52,dxall295 f Figure 52 #!EL . #!Cbrown #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18* #!Rvcrcon52 #!N Graphics omitted from Online Documentation. Please see the manual. #!N #!N Figure 52. Sequence Control Panel. The first two buttons at top left are Loop and Palindrome. The others are: Step (< #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* || #!EF >), Counter ( #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* ... #!EF ), Back (<), Forward (>), Stop (&sqbul.), and Pause ( #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* || #!EF ). #!EF #!N #!EC #!N #!N The > button starts the animation sequence and plays forward. The < button plays the sequence in the opposite direction. #!N #!N The &sqbul. button stops the animation and resets the animation to the beginning of the sequence, while the #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* || #!EF button pauses the animation at the current frame. #!N #!N The #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* Loop #!EF button causes the animation to loop; that is to go from beginning to end, reset to beginning, play to end, and so on until terminated by either pause or stop. #!N #!N The #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* Palindrome #!EF button causes the sequence to be played from beginning to end, and then from end to beginning. #!N #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* Loop #!EF and #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* Palindrome #!EF can be pressed simultaneously, resulting in an continuous forward and reverse animation. #!N #!N The < #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* || #!EF > button causes the behavior of the > and < buttons to become single-step mode. Each time one of these buttons is pressed, the animation advances one frame in the specified direction. #!N #!N The #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* ... #!EF button opens the Frame Control dialog. The Frame Control dialog box (see #!Lvcrfr53,dxall295 f Figure 53 #!EL ) is used to specify the first, "next," and last (end) frames, the number of frames, and the increment between successive frames. #!N #!N If a frame is being displayed, the current frame number appears in the Frame Control dialog box, next to the word "Current," and a corresponding colored marker is shown on the slide bar. A colored marker indicating the position of the next frame is also shown. Black markers indicate the positions of #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* start #!EF and #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* end #!EF relative to the next range of min to max. #!Cbrown #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18* #!Rvcrfr53 #!N Graphics omitted from Online Documentation.

By default, set to the value in the Min field, in a new program. To change the Start field, use the stepper controls or select the field and enter the new value or use the Start marker. If you change the value in the Min field, then the Start field is set to that new value. If you are working with a saved program, then the Min and Start fields are set to the values that were saved. #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* End #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N The ending value for the sequence. By default, set to the value in the Max field, in a new program. To change the End field, use the stepper controls or select the field and enter the new value or use the End marker. If you change the value in the Max field, then the End field is set to that new value. If you are working with a saved program, then the Max and End fields are set to the values that were saved. #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* Current #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N Displays the current frame number. #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* Increment #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N By default, set to 1.

You can set the Next field to any value between the Start and End values: the Sequencer will begin running at that value. (When the Sequencer is in loop mode, subsequent loops begin at the value in the Start field.) #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* Min #!EF #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18* and #!EF #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* Max #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N Specify the allowed range of sequence values. These are text fields that can be altered. Data Explorer ensures that the value in the Start field is greater than or equal to the Min value, and the value in the End field is less than or equal to the Max value. #!I0 #!N #!N #!N Note: If the images change more quickly than you would like, use the #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* Throttle... #!EF option (see #!Lspeed,dxall329 h Changing the Rate of Frame Display: Throttle... #!EL ). #!N #!N #!N #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* Next Topic #!EF #!N #!N #!Lall295,dxall296 h Using a Data-Driven Sequencer #!EL #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* #!N
