Stop
STOP
Stop program execution.
Explanation
Stop prevents the BS2 from executing any further instructions until it
is reset. The following actions will reset the BS2: pressing and releas-
ing the RESET button on the carrier board, taking the RES pin low then
high, by downloading a new program, or turning the power off then
on.
Stop differs from End in two respects:
• Stop does not put the BS2 into low-power mode. The BS2 draws
just as much current as if it were actively running program
instructions.
• The output glitch that occurs after a program has Ended does not
occur after a program has Stopped.
