fclose (serial) - Disconnect serial port object from device
Syntax
fclose(obj)
Description
fclose(obj)
disconnects obj from the device, where obj is
a serial port object or an array of serial port objects.
Remarks
If obj was successfully disconnected, then
the Status property is
configured to closed and the RecordStatus property is configured
to off. You can reconnect obj to
the device using the fopen function.
An error is returned if you issue fclose while
data is being written asynchronously. In this case, you should abort
the write operation with the stopasync function,
or wait for the write operation to complete.
If you use the help command
to display help for fclose, then you need to supply
the pathname shown below.
help serial/fclose
Example
This example creates the serial port object s on
a Windows platform, connects s to the device,
writes and reads text data, and then disconnects s from
the device using fclose.
s = serial('COM1');
fopen(s)
fprintf(s, '*IDN?')
idn = fscanf(s);
fclose(s)
At this point, the device is available to be connected to a
serial port object. If you no longer need s, you
should remove from memory with the delete function,
and remove it from the workspace with the clear command.
