10 Commands And Functions
524
Ctrl Command stop_trigger
Function resets (to
Busy
= 0) a measurement session’s status that can be queried via
measurement_status.
Call stop_trigger()
Comments • This command is only needed if a measurement session was started via set_trigger or
set_trigger4, but not subsequently terminated via set_trigger(
Period
= 0) or
set_trigger4(
Period
= 0). Here, you can reset the measurement session’s status even
when no list is active (see set_trigger comments).
• The command is ignored (get_last_error return code:
RTC5_BUSY
) if the addressed
board’s BUSY status is currently set (list is being processed or has been halted via
pause_list) or the board’s INTERNAL-BUSY status is currently set. In contrast, the
command is executed when a list has been paused via set_wait (PAUSED status set).

List Command
store_encoder
Function stores the current counts of the two RTC
®
5 encoder counters in a buffer on the RTC
®
5.
Call
store_encoder( Pos )
Parameters
Pos
Choice of buffer position as an unsigned 32-bit value:
• Bit#0 = 0: The counter values will be stored in buffer position 0
• Bit#0 = 1: The counter values will be stored in buffer position 1
Comments • store_encoder can be used, for instance, to determine the exact number of encoder
increments occurring within a specific list-processing period. Here, you could begin the
command list by storing the counts in buffer position 0 via
store_encoder(0)
. At the
end of the command list, you could store the counts to buffer position 1 via
store_encoder(1)
and subsequently retrieve the stored values via read_encoder.
• The used buffer is reserved exclusively for storing encoder values.

Signals", page 215.
