Add new Sequence Mode: One after another, then LOOP

[Jerry Macon]

This would be the combining of the two modes currently implemented. Very useful for implementing this kind of sequence, Assume for example all filters are for 60 seconds each, so each filter will be imaged for 15 minutes before changing to next filter. I want to do auto-focus on filter change so this gives me a focus run every 15 minutes.

15L, 15R, 15G, 15B, 15Ha

This will take an hour. But I need to image this target for 5 hours, so I must do the following:

15L, 15R, 15G, 15B, 15Ha, 15L, 15R, 15G, 15B, 15Ha 15L, 15R, 15G, 15B, 15Ha, 15L, 15R, 15G, 15B, 15Ha, 15L, 15R, 15G, 15B, 15Ha

So cumbersome. Requires 25 rows in the sequence, a real PITA to set up and maintain.

With this feature it would look like this:

15L, 15R, 15G, 15B, 15Ha then set LOOP COUNT: 5

Should be very easy to implement. Just add a LOOP COUNT parameter and an outer loop to the logic.

I am working on this, see the attatchment.

Is that what you want?

The Chinese label means “Rotation Count“

Hey 袁冬,
the sequencer is currently undergoing a complete rework by me, so no more effort is put into the old sequencing window. The new sequencer will become much more granular where you can specify a sequence by individual sub steps. It’s still in early development so I don’t have the complete details yet, but something like this behavior described here will also be possible then.

the new sequencer that can be previewed in the 1.11 nightlies can be set up to do that.
