The UVI observation sequences are lists of UVI instrument commands. Each observation sequence generates commands to the UVI to record a given number of images using a given filter wheel position, gain setting, and image mode. The list is repeated a given number of times and this comprises a sequence. The sequences are designed based on defined Instrument Configurations to gather images which will enable a certain type of science or analysis to be performed with the data. There is a table of 49 observation sequences available on-board the UVI instrument memory RAM. This table can be modified and uploaded as required. The following table is the latest observation sequence table on-board UVI. The listing includes the Instrument Configuration number which may be used in the UVI query data base.

The following abbreviations are used in the table:

04 - 1304 Filter
56 - 1356 Filter
LS - LBH Short
LL - LBH Long
SO - Solar Filter
S - Shutter (Background)
H - Home (Background)
DB - Dynamic Balancing
NM - Normal Mode
FM - Fast Mode
