 =====Start/Stop Setup=====

+====Additional Notes====
+Start/stop can be performed via the 0xffffff (Stop) and 0xfffffe (Start) commands. For instance,
+<code>gvarset(0xffffff,1); //Stop Program</code>
+This can be used in procedures such as the HOMING_HANDLER Software PLC.
+Additionally, the following global variables can be used:
+| GVAR_EXT_REFRESH_NC | 100001 | refresh nc program |
+| GVAR_EXT_PLAYER_PLAY | 100002 | play |
+| GVAR_EXT_RESET_NC | 100003 | reset nc program |
+====Pause====
+As of December 2022, the myCNC firmware features the Pause functionality. This allows to:
+  * Adjust the Overspeed % to 0 (complete stop)
+  * Use the Pause button - ''action="player-pause"'' for pause/start
+As opposed to the **Stop** button, which stop the program followed by the ability to start from the stop point, **Pause** is a smooth decrease in speed to zero without stopping the program execution. Essentially, the **Pause** brings the base frequency to a halt. When the frequency is brought back up, the process continues. This makes the **Pause** resemble a "sleep" mode.
