Start or Restart Animation

\i g S byte::anim_loc

Parameter	Type	Range	Description
anim_loc	byte	0 ... 7	index of the animation control

Starts or restarts (if previously stopped) the animated graphic loaded to the animation control referred by anim_loc.

If the animated graphic does not run endlessly (that means the number of repetitions are greater than 0), the internal repetition counter is reset before the animation is (re)started.
If anim_loc has never been loaded with an animated graphic before, a [NACK] is returned.
If the animation control anim_loc is already running, this command has no effect.
By default, all animations are not running. Hence all animations are stopped on startup and by the commands Reset All or Reboot Panel Controller. The loaded animation controls (refer to Load Animated Graphics) as well as set backgrounds (refer to Set Animation Background Color, Set Animation Background Frame, Set Animation Background Graphic or Set Animation Background Screen) are not deleted by this command.
Find general information about animated graphics in chapter LCD Graphics Commands.

Response:

[ACK]
