Function stops execution of the list and deactivates the "laser active" laser control signals
immediately
Call
stop_execution()
Comments • With versions OUT 534 and lower, the command is only executed if a list is BUSY or
PAUSED (else
stop_execution deactivates the "laser active" laser control signals even if no list is
active (here the command has no other effects; here too:
RTC5_BUSY).
• With stop_execution, the mirrors will stay in the current position, unless a home jump

defined position using the command goto_xy.

(see get_status) are reset.
• A list that was interrupted with stop_execution cannot be resumed and must instead
be newly started (e.g. via execute_list_pos). To only temporarily halt a list and later
resume it, you can use the commands
