Sequence

A Sequence is a structural element that can be used to organize segments and define the nature of the results that are passed on to the next segment or sequence in the MCS. A sequence is comprised of a number of segments, each of which is propagated forward in order within the sequence. Each segment nested within a sequence is created and defined in the normal way, and behaves exactly as it would at the MCS level.

Scripting

You can define a script - using the Scripting Tool - that will be executed before the sequence's segments are run for each iteration of the sequence. If you have defined parameters for the script, they will be displayed in the Parameters section.

Enabled - Select this option to make the script active, so that it will be executed.

Pre-Iterate - Select this option to run the sequence once before executing the script.

Show Scripting Tool... - Click this button to open the Scripting Tool and define a script.

Apply Changes - During execution, the sequence will utilize any values that the script sets, but won't replace the values where they are assigned in the segments. Click this button to apply the changes specified by the script to the segments within the sequence, thus replacing the originally assigned values with the script values.

General Options

Generate Ephemeris - Select this option to have the sequence generate ephemeris and display it in the 2D and 3D Graphics windows.

Repeat Count - Enter the number of times that the sequence will be executed. A sequence that is repeated is executed immediately subsequent to the previous execution of the sequence.
