Using the Sequence Editor and Sequence Commands Bar
Sequence files are constructed by inserting commands from the Sequence Commands bar into
the file in the Sequence Editor "window." The Sequence Commands bar and Sequence Editor
are shown in Figure 6-24.
The Sequence Commands bar contains three major command groups: System, Advanced, and
Measurement. The VSM-specific measurement commands (Adv. Measure, Center Sample,
Datafile Comment, Moment vs. Field, Moment vs. Temp., and New Datafile) are in the VSM
subgroup within the main Measurement Commands group. To see the commands in any group,
expand it by clicking on the plus sign (+) next to the group heading. To close a command group,
click on the minus (–) sign next to the group heading.
Important: The VSM option must be activated before the VSM sequence commands will appear
in the Sequence Commands bar.
