6.5.  AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION SEQUENCES  
The T703 calibrator can be set up to perform automatic calibration sequences of multiple steps.  These 
sequences can perform all of the calibration operations available for manual operation and can be set up to be 
triggered by using the front panel touch screen buttons, the T703’s internal timer, the external digital control 
inputs, the RS-232 interface, the Ethernet interface or even as sub-processes in another sequence. 
 
6.5.1.   SETUP  SEQ: PROGRAMMING CALIBRATION SEQUENCES  
A sequence is a database of single or multiple steps where each single step is an instruction that causes the 
instrument to perform an operation.  These steps are grouped under a user-defined SEQUENCE NAME.  
For each sequence, seven attributes must be programmed; the attributes are presented in Table 6-3. 
Table 6-3:  Automatic Calibration SEQUENCE Set Up Attributes 
ATTRIBUTE NAME 
DESCRIPTION 
NAME 
Allows the user to create a text string of up to 10 characters identifying the sequence. 
REPEAT COUNT 
Number of times, between 0 and 100, to execute the same sequence.  A value of 0 
(zero) causes the sequence to execute indefinitely. 
CC INPUT 
Specifies which of the T703’s Digital Control Inputs will initiate the sequence. 
CC OUTPUT 
Specifies which of the T703’s Digital Control Outputs will be set when the sequence 
is active. 
TIMER ENABLE 
Enables or disables an internal automatic timer that can initiate sequences using the 
T703’s built in clock. 
STEPS 
 A series of submenus for programming the activities and instructions that make up 
the calibration sequence. 
PROGRESS MODE 
Allows the user to select the reporting style the calibrator uses to report the progress 
of the sequences , on the front panels display, as it runs 
 
The types of instruction steps available for creating calibration sequences are presented in Table 6-4: 
Table 6-4:  Calibration SEQUENCE Step Instruction  
INSTRUCTION NAME 
DESCRIPTION 
GENERATE 
 Puts the instrument into GENERATE mode.  Similar in operation and effect to the 
GENERATE  AUTO function used at the front panel. 
DURATION 
Adds a period of time between the previous instruction and the next 
EXECSEQ 
Calls another sequence to be executed at this time.  The calling sequence will 
resume running when the called sequence is completed.  Up to 5 levels of nested 
sequences can be programmed. 
SETCCOUTPUT 
Allows the sequence to activate the T703’s digital control outputs.  Similar to the CC 
OUPUT attribute, but can be set and reset by individual steps. 
 
NOTE 
It is recommended that each calibration sequence be ended with an instruction to return the instrument 
to 
STANDBY
 mode.
