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
PAUSED (else get_last_error return code:
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: get_last_error return code:
RTC5_BUSY ).
•With stop_execution, the mirrors will stay in the current position, unless a home jump
has been previously defined via home_position or home_position_xyz (a home jump
will be executed). Therefore, before a new list is loaded, the mirrors should be set to a
defined position using the command goto_xy.
• 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 read_status) and the BUSY list execution status value
(see get_status) are reset.
• A list that was interrupted with stop_execution cannot be resumed and must instead
be newly started (e.g. via execute_list_pos). To only temporarily halt a list and later
resume it, you can use the commands pause_list or stop_list.
• 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 simulate_ext_stop or an external stop
signal must be applied to the master board (also see page 84).

Ctrl Command stop_list
Function pauses execution of the list and deactivates the “laser active” laser control signals.
Call

Comments • The command stop_list is synonymous with pause_list (page 382) – see the informa-
tion there.

5 essentially unchanged functionality, however:
the RTC

5 also has a PAUSED status that will be set via stop_list.
