ETO bug: sequence compile error hangs the sequence

 in rare cases, running an ETO sequence returns an error about illegal variable. This is caused by a problem in the script compiler (every sequence is compiled to a Visual Basic program using the WinWrap Basic compiler upon execution). In MultiVu you need to click Sequence > Advanced > Edit Macro... and will notice that the same variable has been defined twice in the beginning of the script. Simply delete one of these, save the script (in the WinWrap editor that is now open), and run from the WinWrap editor. Please inform the support engineer about the sequence that caused this problem! It will be helpful in debugging.
