Disconnecting and Cleaning Up
Disconnecting an Instrument Object
When you no longer need to communicate with the instrument,
you should disconnect the object. Interface objects are disconnected
with the fclose function;
device objects are disconnected with the disconnect function.
You can examine the Status property to
verify that the object is disconnected from the instrument.
obj.Status
ans =

Cleaning Up the MATLAB Workspace
When you no longer need the instrument object, you should remove
it from memory with the delete function.
delete(obj)
A deleted instrument object is invalid,
which means that you cannot connect it to the instrument. In this
case, you should remove the object from the MATLAB workspace.
To remove instrument objects and other variables from the MATLAB workspace,
use the clear command.
clear obj
If you use clear on an object that is connected
to an instrument, the object is removed from the workspace but remains
connected to the instrument. You can restore cleared instrument objects
to the MATLAB workspace with the instrfind function.
