Sequence Editor – Individual Test Sequences : Layout and Use of the Sequence Editor
Layout and Use of the Sequence Editor
The sequence editor consists of three parts:
1. Top left window: List of available sequence steps: Depending on the connected instruments and the type of sequence (IZY/instrument sequence), the sequence steps which can be used to create the sequence are displayed here.
2. Bottom left window: Configuration of the sequence step: The configuration and parameter setting options for the selected sequence step are made available here.
3. Window on the right: Design progress display: A breakdown of current sequence progress appears here.
 
Attention!
The sequences and the individual sequence steps may only be created with the help of the sequence editor by a qualified electrician or under the direction and supervision of a qualified electrician.
Gossen Metrawatt GmbH assumes no liability for user-created sequences!
 
Attention!
Connecting line voltage to the test socket at the SECUTEST or SECULIFE test instrument and performance of a function test are only permissible if the test object has already passed all safety test steps! Depending on the test object’s protection class, this means that visual inspection, as well as measurement of protective conductor resistance and insulation resistance, must have been passed.
 
Attention!
When creating sequence steps, make sure that the limit values entered always correspond to the current standard!
 
Sequence Creation Procedure
► Select either the “PORTABLE OBJECTS” or “STATIONARY OBJECTS” menu.
► Select the “SEQUENCES” menu.
► Click in order to create a new sequence.
► Enter the following parameters: SEQUENCE NAME, TEST TYPE, STANDARD and FOR INSTRUMENT, and then click “ADD”
The new sequence is added to the table.
► Save the most recent settings by clicking .
► Select the sequence you want to edit.
► Open the sequence editor by clicking .
► Select a sequence step from the step selection window.
► Drag and drop it into the design progress window. All available options for configuring the currently selected step now appear in the configuration window. As long as the step is not configured correctly, it’s displayed in red and the affected fields are identified with an error icon . Creation of the sequence step is completed by filling in these fields. Now a new step can be added to the sequence by means of drag & drop. The following operations can be executed in the design progress window in the sequence of steps created in this way:
► Save the test sequence by clicking .
 
Tools:
Save test sequence
 
Cancel editing
 
Delete test step: the currently selected test step is deleted
 
Move the selected test step up
 
Move the selected test step down
 
Return to sequence management

(Since this window is a list, the functions of the list view apply and, in addition, the list icons in the toolbar are activated – see „Lists“. These functions apply only to the list view).
