Abstract :
Sequencer-type application programs are used to turn on several accelerator systems at Fermilab. One of the first systems to use such a program was the Tevatron main power supply system. The function of TARCAS (Tevatron Automated Ramp Check-out and Start-up) is discussed. A brief summary of the operation experience with such sequencer programs is also presented
