If a further External Start is missed within the track
delay, then you should delete the wait loop
(otherwise the encoder counter needs to run through
a full 31-bit sequence before a start can again be
successfully triggered). Deletion can be accomplished
by resetting the track delay with
set_ext_start_delay.
In any case, Bit #10 needs to first be reset (disabled)
for initialization and then a (one-time) External Start
must be triggered (for external start signals Bit #0
must be set) before Bit #10 can again be set (see
example). Otherwise, the first track delay in the wait
loop is undefined.
