NewSequenceFile or NewSequence

When programmatically creating a sequence using LabVIEW, what is the difference between NewSequenceFile, and NewSequence?

Thanks,

Hey BenjaminS,

From the help:

NewSequence Method

Syntax

Engine.NewSequence

Return Value

Sequence

Purpose

Creates and returns a new Sequence object.

 

NewSequenceFile Method

Syntax

Engine.NewSequenceFile

Return Value

SequenceFile

Purpose

Creates and returns a new SequenceFile object.

 

A sequence is contained within a Sequence File.  You have to have a Sequence File in order to have a sequence.  A sequence file may contain multiple sequences but a sequence is only contained within 1 sequence file.  So the Hierarchy would look like this:

Sequence File -> Sequence -> Step Group -> Step

Hopefully that clears things up.

Why, yes, it does help.  I don't know why I couldn't find it in the help before.  I must have spelled something wrong.

Thanks,
