Tutorial 2. How to edit a step in an existing sequence file.
2.0
This tutorial assumes you have completed tutorial 1 and that you have a sequence file on your
computer ‘dvrloop1’. If you have not created it, please follow tutorial 1 to create the simple looping
sequence. We will edit the ‘WAIT UNTIL’ step to change the loop time.
2.1
From the ‘File’ menu select ‘Open’. The ‘File Selection’ window opens at the default ‘dvrseq’
directory.
2.2
Use the scroll buttons to locate file dvrloop1.seq and ‘double-click’ this filename.
2.3
The dvrloop1 sequence is loaded into the ‘Sequence Builder’ table.
2.4
Use the ‘Save As’ option in the ‘File’ menu to save this with filename “test”.
2.5
Click on the ‘WAIT UNTIL’ step in the ‘Event’ list. The ‘Device/Command Selection’
window opens with ‘DVR’ selected.
2.6
Click on ‘WAIT UNTIL’ and enter the new frame time. Press ‘O.K.’ when ready.
2.7
The new time is entered in Step01.
2.8
We can use the ‘Save’ in the File menu to save this change or ‘Save As’ to save the edited file
under a new name.
2.9
Note we have only changed the sequence file, we have not changed the sequence programmed
in the DVR. We should follow steps 1.22 to 1.27 to download to the DVR and check the new
sequence.
