Claim One:
1. A method for operating a computer to generate an operating sequence, with which said computer operates a medical imaging system, said medical imaging system comprising a plurality of components, said method comprising: in said computer, receiving an electronic designation of a measurement sequence to be executed by said medical imaging system, said measurement sequence comprising a predetermined number of successive partial sequences that each, when executed by said medical imaging system, cause a loading of at least one of said components; in said computer, also receiving an electronic designation of a measurement period and a division of said measurement period into a measurement interval and a pause interval; in said computer, automatically dividing said partial sequences into a plurality of partial sequence groups, and designating an initial association of said plurality of partial sequence groups to an equal plurality of said measurement intervals, with a one-to-one relation of said plurality of partial sequence groups to said plurality of measurement intervals; in said computer, operating a computerized model of said medical imaging system to initially check whether a loading of at least one of said components with the partial sequences of a respective individual partial sequence group is below a load limit and, if so, retaining said divisions of said partial sequences of said respective individual partial sequence group and, if not, modifying said division of said partial sequences within said respective individual partial sequence group, and/or increasing said plurality of partial sequence groups, thereby obtaining at least one of a modified grouping and a modified number of groups; in said computer, operating said computerized model of said medical imaging system to check whether said modified grouping or said modified number of groups results in a loading of said at least one component that is below said load limit and, if so, adopting said modified grouping or said modified number of groups as said final division and, if not, again modifying said at least one of said grouping and said number of groups until a modified grouping or a modified number of groups, when said operating said computerized model, results in a loading of said at least one component that is below said load limit, as said final grouping or final number of groups; and emitting a designation of said plurality of partial sequences as a final output, that conforms to said final grouping or said final number of groups, in electronic form from an output of said computer in a format configured to operate said medical imaging system.
