What to pay attention to when working with a sequence:
 If more images are recorded than defined in SeqLength ,the settings for the last image
remain in effect.
 If sequence mode is cancelled, the camera can use the FIFO for other tasks. For this reason,
a sequence must be loaded back into the camera after sequence mode has been cancelled.
 To repeat the sequence, stop the camera and send the “MultiShot” or “IsoEnable” command
again. Each of these two commands resets the sequence.
 Using SingleShot mode in combination with a sequence does not make sense, because
SingleShot mode restarts the sequence every time.
 The sequence may not be active when setting the AutoRewind flag. For this reason it is
important to set the flag before the “MultiShot” or “ISO_Enable” commands.
 If the sequence is used with the deferred transport feature, the number of images entered
in Seq_Length may not be exceeded.
The following screenshot shows an example of a sequence for eight different image settings. It
uses the AVT program AVTFiretool as graphical representation. Please note the changes in the
shutter time, which create descending image brightness, and the change in the image position,
which creates a panning effect.

9.8.2 Changing the parameters within a sequence
To change the parameter set for one image, it is not necessary to make settings for the entire
sequence. The image can simply be selected via the ImageNo field and it is then possible to
change the corresponding IIDC v. 1.3 registers.
