a) Sequence
A sequence is comprised of a combination of at least two steps (the minimum unit is one step).
b) Step
Step execution parameters and step transition parameters are specified for each step. When sequence
execution is not performed (i.e., during normal output mode), these parameters are specified in the
same way. Thereafter, the normal output mode is called normal output step. In the descriptions below,
the step parameters are enclosed in brackets ([]).
The step execution parameters specify the output and related actions in each step.

Phase (start phase)
Step synchronized output
[Step operation types]
The following parameters are provided to specify actions related to output at
each step.
Constant (CONST: Values specified by output parameters are output.)
Sweep (SWEEP: A linear sweep is performed from the previous step
end value to the value specified by the output
parameter, using the specified step time.)
Keep (KEEP
Note
: The previous step end value is output.)
Note
When the [step operation type] is KEEP, the [output parameter] setting is ignored.
