Sequence

Use a Sequence as a structural element to organize segments and define the nature of the results to pass on to the next segment or sequence in the MCS. A sequence is comprised 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 is run before the sequence's segments are run for each iteration of the sequence. If you have defined parameters for the script, they are displayed in the Parameters section.

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

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 use 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 run. A sequence that repeats runs immediately after the previous run of the sequence.

State to Pass to Next Segment - Select either the initial or final state of the sequence to pass on to the next segment in the MCS.
