Instead of the ʻstartʼ commands, the ʻloopʼ commands are generally a bet-
ter choice. The difference between the ʻstartʼ and ʻloopʼ commands are that
at the end of a show which is started with a ʻloopʼ, it will check to see if any
actions were set for the end of the show. A show that is started with the
ʻstartʼ command will play to the end and then just stop and wait for the next
command.
These commands start the animation playing on the Br-ANA(s) ad-
dressed by the command. The shows will always start from the beginning
(frame zero). If an addressed Br-ANA is looping shows, it will have the
ʻLOOPING SHOWSʼ flag reset.
If the Br-ANA receives a start command after it has received a request for
a specific show, it will play that show. Otherwise it will play the show that has
been set as the ʻnextʼ show for the show which is currently playing (or most
recently played show if it is not currently playing). If this is the first show
played after a Br-ANA is reset, it will play the show which has been set as
the ʻfirstʼ show during the AutoDownload. Requests for specific shows can
come only from the serial port.
