Synchronous Starts and Synchronous Stops
Within a master/slave chain, External Starts (if
enabled with set_control_mode) and External Stops
are passed on:
• from one board to all boards
Therefore, it can be triggered:
• A synchronous start of all synchronized boards
within a master/slave chain (with presettable
track delays) can be triggered by an external start
signal, a simulate_ext_start or a
simulate_ext_start_ctrl at any board
• A synchronous stop of all synchronized boards
within a master/slave chain
by an external stop signal or a simulate_ext_stop
at any board
In contrast, not passed on are:
• Starts by execute_list
• Starts by execute_at_pointer
• Stops by stop_execution
Therefore, these must be separately executed even at
master/slave-synchronized boards.
Notes
• See also Chapter 9.3.1 ”Starting and Stopping
Lists by External Control Signals and Master/Slave
Synchronization”, page 289.
• With master_slave_config the master/slave
interface properties can be configured
individually for each RTC6 board.
