Getting Started

Welcome to SeqMaster! This guide will help you set up your first test station.

Quick Start

1. Download & Transfer

Download SeqMaster from the download page and get it onto your Pi. Multiple methods available — USB drive is the easiest, or transfer over your network.

See the download page for step-by-step instructions for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

2. Install

Open a Terminal on your Pi and run these 3 commands:

tar -xzf seqmaster-0.9.0-beta.tar.gz
cd seqmaster-0.9.0-beta
sudo ./install.sh

The installer takes 2-5 minutes and sets up everything automatically (Python environment, web server, auto-start on boot).

3. Open in your browser

From any computer on the same network, open a browser and go to your Pi's IP address:

http://<pi-ip-address>

Find your Pi's IP by running hostname -I on the Pi, or try http://raspberrypi.local

Your First Test Sequence

Let's create a simple test sequence that measures a voltage and checks if it's within limits.

Step 1: Connect Your Instrument

Connect a supported multimeter via USB. SeqMaster will auto-detect it.

Keysight 34461A detected on USB0

Step 2: Create a New Sequence

  1. Click "Sequences" in the sidebar
  2. Click "New Sequence"
  3. Enter a name: Voltage Check
  4. Add a step by clicking "+ Add Step"

Step 3: Configure the Step

name: "Measure VCC"
type: "measurement"
instrument: "DMM"
function: "DC_VOLTAGE"
limits:
  min: 4.8
  max: 5.2
  unit: "V"

Step 4: Run the Test

  1. Save the sequence
  2. Go to "Run" view
  3. Select your sequence
  4. Click "Start"

The test will measure the voltage and show PASS (green) or FAIL (red) based on your limits.
