In this wizard, you must type the name of the sequence, select
the value of its first number, the incrementing step (in other words,
the difference between every pair of adjacent numbers), the number of
precomputed values that you want to be cached and, optionally, the
name of the sequence file where the numbers should be stored. If no
sequence file is specified, the sequence will not be persistent and
the value will be reset with every run of the graph. The name can be,
for example, ${SEQ_DIR}/sequencefile.seq
or
${SEQ_DIR}/anyothername
. Note that we are using
here the SEQ_DIR
parameter defined in the
workspace.prm
file, whose value is
${PROJECT}/seq
. And PROJECT
is another parameter defining the path to your project located in
workspace.
When you want to edit some of the existing sequences, you must select the sequence name in the Outline pane, open the context menu by right-clicking this name and select the item. A Sequence wizard appears. (You can also open this wizard when selecting some sequence item in the Outline pane and pressing Enter.)
Now it differs from that mentioned above by a new text area with the current value of the sequence number. The value has been taken from a file. If you want, you can change all of the sequence properties and you can reset the current value to its original value by clicking the button.
And when the graph has been run once again, the same sequence started from 1001:
You can also see how the sequence numbers fill one of the record fields.
