#!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

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

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.
