10 Commands And Functions

innovators for industry
Ctrl Command stop_execution
Function
stops execution of the list and deactivates the “laser active” laser control signals
immediately
Call
stop_execution()
Comments
• With versions OUT 534 and lower, the command is only executed if a list is BUSY or
RTC5_BUSY
). As of Version OUT 535, however,
stop_execution
deactivates the “laser active” laser control signals even if no list is
active (here the command has no other effects; here too:
return code:
RTC5_BUSY
).
• With
stop_execution
, the mirrors will stay in the current position, unless a home jump
has been previously defined via
will be executed). Therefore, before a new list is loaded, the mirrors should be set to a
defined position using the command
.
• The external START inputs are disabled (see
"External List Start", page 210
).
• The Processing-on-the-fly correction is turned off (Processing-on-the-fly option only).
• The BUSY list status values (see
) and the BUSY list execution status value
• A list that was interrupted with
stop_execution
cannot
be resumed and must instead
be newly started (e.g. via
). To only temporarily halt a list and later
resume it, you can use the commands
.
•
stop_execution
only affects the addressed RTC
®
5 board. Even in a master/slave chain,
it will not be passed on to the downstream slave boards. If all boards of a master/slave
chain shall be synchronously stopped, then
or an external stop
signal must be applied to the master board (also see
).
