Using SEQUENCER
FasTrac Millennium User’s Guide – May 2003
5.1 Starting SEQUENCER
To invoke SEQUENCER, click the Sequences button on the Select Panel at the
left side of your display. The SEQUENCER panel then opens. While this panel
is open, most non-sequence functions are inoperable. To exit the SEQUENCER
panel, click EXIT.
The SEQUENCER text box specifies the current sequence. To choose a
different sequence, open the pull-down list and select another sequence. If this
section is empty, it indicates that the system currently has no sequences.
The second part of the panel lists the current sequence's events. This list
appears directly beneath the name of the current sequence. Some of the events
have user-defined names. For example, you may call a zoom Zoom to L
or name a time lapse Texas. If an event consists of a slide (view), the event
name is identical to the name of the view. Other events, such as radar-sweep
repaints, do not have user-defined names. To view details about a particul
event, highlight the event to display a menu that describes the event in detail.
For example, slide events indicate the view’s name, range and mapping d
(such as the level of roads and water bodies). Other events, of course, have
different characteristics. The extended menu that describes zoom events
indicates the starting view, the ending view, and the number of frames in the
zoom. You can characterize time-lapse events by their base view, beginning time, ending time
iterations (the number of times that the full lapse repeats), and number of frames.

The third part of the Sequence Control Panel is the section of buttons at the bottom of the panel:
Up, Down, New Seq, Ins Evt, Start Seq, Del Seq, Del Evt, and Exit. Use the Up and Down
buttons to move events around in the sequence. The remaining buttons provide functionalities
that are essential to the creation and manipulation of sequences and events. The following
subsections describe the use and functionality of each of these buttons.
5.1.1 Creating a New Sequence
Click New Seq to invoke a small menu that asks you for a sequence name. Choose the name
carefully because once you enter a sequence name you may never change it. You may, however,
delete the sequence.
1. Key in the name of the new sequence, and press ENTER or click OK to create the sequence.
2. When you create a sequence, the name automatically appears in the SEQUENCER panel.
The list of events (the second part of the SEQUENCER panel) is always empty when you
create a sequence. To fill the sequence with events you must use the Ins Evt command.
