This 2-hour online training course looks at tools that can be used to develop advanced sequences, including subsequences, sequence loops, logic and external control.

First we will learn about using subsequences. These are full sequences that can be run as a single step inside another sequence. This eliminates the need to recreate the same group of steps in multiple sequences and is ideal for sequences where the same measurement needs to be repeated with different parameters, for example testing a device with varying levels of background noise.

Next we will cover sequence loops and logic. In this section we will learn how to configure steps to add loops to your sequences to repeat a section of the sequence a set number of times, and conditional branching so that the progression of the sequence is dependent on the  pass/fail status of a step.

Finally, we will learn how to control and automate SoundCheck sequences using external programs via TCP/IP. We will also learn how to use a new feature of SoundCheck 18 that allows the user to pass test configuration data directly into the memory list.

Please note: This training will assume hardware and calibration are already configured, and assume that the user understands basic sequence writing and step types. We will not go over how to write TCP/IP examples from scratch, but look at existing examples and command set definitions. We will use python and LabVIEW as examples for TCP/IP control, but will not go into details on how to use those languages. SoundCheck TCP/IP control is language agnostic, any program that can communicate via TCP/IP can communicate with SoundCheck

The cost of this course is $79 but it is free to support contract holders.
