Hi Dave,

Thanks for your response.

Yes as you said, It should be the sequence item that get exclusive access to driver when use lock () from sequence body.

But as the cookbook says, lock() gives a sequence item exclusive access to driver when it gets next slot via arbitration mechanism.

The same thing happens even if we dont use lock right ? when it is the sequence_item’s turn it will get exclusive access to the driver , am i right ?

Thanks,
V
