Ctrl Command simulate_ext_start_ctrl
Function causes a simulated external list start.
Call
simulate_ext_start_ctrl()
Comments • For external list starts, see
• If applicable, the start trigger for the list start occurs only after a track delay previously
set via set_ext_start_delay,
the internal encoder counter which was selected by these commands was counted up
(or down) by the specified track delay). Track delays are deactivated via initialization
(with load_program_file), via external list stops and via stop_execution. They can also
be deactivated with
simulate_ext_start_ctrl or via an external start signal, but whose execution was post-
poned according to the specified track delay, will be placed in a queue that accommo-
dates up to 8 starts. In contrast to simulate_ext_start, simulate_ext_start_ctrl does
not cancel the previous queue.
• A start trigger initiated via simulate_ext_start_ctrl or via an external start signal will
only trigger a list start if it doesn't coincide with the output of a list (otherwise, bit#11
