clear - Remove instrument objects from MATLAB workspace
Syntax
clear obj
Arguments
obj | An instrument object or an array of instrument objects. |
Description
clear obj removes obj from
the MATLAB workspace.
Remarks
If obj is connected to the instrument and
it is cleared from the workspace, then obj remains
connected to the instrument. You can restore obj to
the workspace with the instrfind function.
An object connected to the instrument has a Status property
value of open.
To disconnect obj from the instrument, use
the fclose function. To
remove obj from memory, use the delete function. You should remove
invalid instrument objects from the workspace with clear.
Examples
This example creates the GPIB object g, copies g to
a new variable gcopy, and clears g from
the MATLAB workspace. g is then restored to
the workspace with instrfind and is shown to be
identical to gcopy.
g = gpib('ni',0,1);
gcopy = g;
clear g
g = instrfind;
isequal(gcopy,g)
ans =
