Ctrl Command start_loop
Function starts an alternately repeating output of the two lists
Integration Pascal:
procedure start_loop;
C:
void start_loop(void);
Basic:
sub start_loop()
Comments • The command start_loop can only be called if the two lists are loaded and closed, and
if one of the lists is executing at the moment. See "Repeating Output" on page 13 .
• Both lists are alternately repeated until execution is terminated by calling the command
quit_loop .

Ctrl Command stop_execution
Function stops execution of the list and turns off the laser immediately
Integration Pascal:
procedure stop_execution;
C:
void stop_execution(void);
Basic:
sub stop_execution()
Comments • The mirrors will stay in the current position. Therefore, before loading a new list, the
mirrors should be set to a defined position using the command goto_xy .
• The external START inputs are disabled.
The Processing-on-the-fly correction is turned off (Processing-on-the-fly option only).
• A list that was interrupted with stop_execution cannot be resumed. Use the command
stop_list if execution is to be temporarily stopped and resumed later.
