Ctrl Command stop_execution
Function Stops execution of the list and deactivates the “laser active” Laser Control Signals
immediately.
Call stop_execution()
Comments • stop_execution deactivates the Signals for “Laser Active” Operation even if no list is
active (here stop_execution has no other effects; here too: get_last_error return code
RTC6_BUSY ).
• With stop_execution, the galvanometer scanners stay in the current position, unless
a home jump has been previously defined by home_position or home_position_xyz
(a home jump is executed). Therefore, before a new list is loaded, the
galvanometer scanners should be set to a defined position using goto_xy.
• The external start input ports are disabled, see Section ”External Start”, page 290.
• The Processing-on-the-fly correction is switched off.
• The BUSY list status values (see read_status) and the BUSY list execution status-List
Execution Status value (see get_status) are reset.
• A list that has been interrupted by stop_execution cannot be resumed. It must instead
be newly started (for example, by execute_list_pos). To only temporarily halt a list and
later resume it, you can use pause_list.
• stop_execution only affects the addressed RTC6 board. In a master/slave chain,
stop_execution is not passed on to the slave boards. If all RTC6 boards of a
master/slave chain are to be synchronously stopped, then simulate_ext_stop or an
external stop signal must be called to any card of the master/slave chain, see also
Chapter 6.6.3 ”Master/Slave Operation”, page 124.

Ctrl Command stop_list
Function Pauses execution of the list and deactivates the Signals for “Laser Active” Operation.
Call stop_list()
Comments • stop_list is synonymous with pause_list (see comments there).
RTC4RTC6 Basically unchanged functionality. However:
Additional PAUSED list execution status which is set by stop_list.
RTC5RTC6 Unchanged functionality.
Version info Available as of DLL 600, OUT 600, RBF 600.
