e) Sequence loop

Either an entire sequence or a block of any number of steps within a sequence can be used as a
sequence loop. The loop is implemented based on the [jump step] and [jump times] parameters
specified for each step. The jump counter, which counts the number of jumps, functions within each
step to retain a count, so multiple loops can be implemented.
Figure 4-9 below illustrates the loop specification method and the step transitions.

Figure 4-9. Loop Specification Method and Step Transition Example

[jump times] indicates the number of jumps. Consequently, loop times = jump times + 1.
In the example above, 10 jump times are specified for Step 6, so when Step 5 and Step 6 are
executed, the number of times = 11.
