Appellants’ invention in also directed to a sequence control
mechanism for controlling the execution of the events specified
in an event timing statement according to their scheduled
execution time with respect to a common timeline. Figures 4A and
4B show block diagrams of object-oriented embodiments of the
control sequence controller 400. See page 21 of Appellants’
specification. Figure 5 shows a sequencer control object
relationship diagram 500 illustrating the software architecture
of the sequencer controller 400. The sequencer controller
includes a sequencer manager 520, a sequencer control object 530,
an action set 540, a timer 560, and an action 550. The host
script engine 510 refers to a processing system where the
interface of the sequencer control 400 is available. See pages
22 and 23 of Appellants’ specification. More specifically, the
sequencer control 400 runs within the host script engine 510.
The host script engine 510 calls a sequencer manager 520 which
