The sequencer is used to import/export/load/view an Excel® file that contains a series of steps. These steps are executed one by one. The sequencer is generally used to operate the Roving hammer impact for modal acquisition, for example.

A Sequence is a set of acquisitions. Each acquisition is a set of setting modifications, and it is associated to a measurement. When a measurement is performed, the acquisition associated with it, is called the current acquisition and is designated by the execution pointer (yellow arrow to the left of the sequence tree). At the end of each measurement, next acquisition becomes current and is executed to prepare the next measurement. When an acquisition is executed, all settings assigned to it are applied.

* Run/Pause
[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_126.jpg]]: When the sequence is not running, it is launched from the current acquisition. The current acquisition is executed to prepare the measurement.


Note: The Pause button operates at the inverse of the enable button in the sequence group ribbon.
