Ctrl Command get_status
Function returns the current status of list execution
Result
busy true ( ≠ 0 ) : a list is executing at the moment
false ( = 0 ) : no list is executing at the moment
position pointer to the command which is executing at the moment
0 ≤
position ≤ 7999.
Integration Pascal:
procedure get_status(var busy: wordbool, var position: word);
C: void get_status(unsigned short *busy, unsigned short *position);
Basic: sub get_status(busy%, position%)
Comments • If position < 4000, list 1 is executing at the moment, otherwise list 2.
•If
busy = false, the variable pointer contains the position of the last command that was
executed (usually set_end_of_list).
• In Pascal the variable
busy can alternatively be of the type boolean .
•The
busy signal is also available at pin (13) of the MARKING ON THE FLY connector
(TTL level; a HIGH level indicates that a list is executing at the moment).
