10 Commands And Functions
511
Ctrl Command simulate_ext_start_ctrl
Function causes a simulated external list start.
Call
simulate_ext_start_ctrl()
Comments • For external list starts, see page 210.
• If applicable, the start trigger for the list start occurs only after a track delay previously
set via set_ext_start_delay, set_ext_start_delay_list or simulate_ext_start (i.e. after
the internal encoder counter which was selected by these commands was counted up
(or down) by the specified track delay). Track delays are deactivated via initialization
(with load_program_file), via external list stops and via stop_execution. They can also
be deactivated with set_control_mode (bit#2). External list starts initiated via
simulate_ext_start_ctrl or via an external start signal, but whose execution was post-
poned according to the specified track delay, will be placed in a queue that accommo-
dates up to 8 starts. In contrast to simulate_ext_start, simulate_ext_start_ctrl does
not cancel the previous queue.
• A start trigger initiated via simulate_ext_start_ctrl or via an external start signal will
only trigger a list start if it doesn’t coincide with the output of a list (otherwise, bit#11
of the get_startstop_info return value will get set).
•The simulate_ext_start_ctrl command alone doesn’t cause an encoder reset. But if
accordingly set with set_control_mode (bit#9), a start trigger initiated via
simulate_ext_start_ctrl, simulate_ext_start or via an external start signal will cause an
encoder reset if the start trigger is preceded by one of the Processing-on-the-fly
commands set_fly_x, set_fly_y or set_fly_rot.

Ctrl Command simulate_ext_stop
Function causes a simulated external list stop.
Call
simulate_ext_stop()
Comments • For external list stops, see page 209.
• simulate_ext_stop simultaneously halts the master board and all slave boards, but
stop_execution only halts the master board.
