Remove instrument objects from MATLAB workspace
clear obj
| An instrument object or an array of instrument objects. |
clear obj removes obj
from the MATLAB® workspace.
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 =
1If 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.
