A periodic binary array on the sequare grid is said to be sequential if and only if each row and each column of the array contains a given periodic binary sequence or some cyclic shift or reversal of this sequence. Such arrays are of interest in connection with experimental layouts. This paper extends previous results by characterizing sequential arrays on sequences of the type (1,…,1,0,…,0) and solving the problem of equivalence of such arrays (including a computation of the number of equivalence classes).
