APIcom Instruction Manual M700 Calibrator Sequences
5.4.2. Sequence Names
When editing a sequence’s properties and clicking , APIcom checks that the sequence name
is unique and contains valid characters. APIcom does not perform this check when downloading a
configuration from an instrument or when loading a configuration from a file because it assumes that the
names are already valid in these cases. If the name is invalid because it isn’t unique or because it
contains invalid characters, APIcom will display the error shown in the following figure and remain in the
sequence property dialog.

When editing the sequence names using the instrument’s own menus, the instrument will only allow
upper case characters, numbers, and the ‘_’ character. However, APIcom will permit longer names and
lower case characters. When viewing the sequence names using the instrument’s menus, however, the
names may be truncated to fit on the display. This limitation is due to the size of the instrument’s
display. The names are not case-sensitive.
5.4.3. Duplicating a Sequence
Duplicate a sequence by clicking or right-click on the sequence and select Duplicate
Sequence from the context menu. APIcom will prompt for a new, unique sequence name.
5.4.4. Moving a Sequence
To move a sequence relative to the other sequences, select the sequence and reposition it using the
and buttons.
5.4.5. Deleting a Sequence
To delete a sequence, simply select the sequence and click on . Alternatively, right-clicking
on a sequence and selecting Delete Sequence from the context menu will do the same. In either case,
APIcom will confirm the deletion with a dialog box like that is shown in the following figure. When a
sequence is deleted, all the steps in it are automatically deleted as well. Such prompts can be disabled
in the Settings-Options menu.
