flushoutput
(To be removed) Remove data from output buffer
This serial, Bluetooth, tcpip,
udp, visa, and gpib object
function will be removed in a future release. Use serialport, bluetooth,
tcpclient,
tcpserver,
udpport,
and visadev
object functions instead. For more information on updating your code, see Version History.
Syntax
flushoutput(obj)
Arguments
| An interface object or an array of interface objects. |
Description
flushoutput(obj) removes data from the
output buffer associated with obj.
Tips
After the output buffer is flushed, the BytesToOutput
property is automatically configured to 0.
If flushoutput is called during an asynchronous (nonblocking)
write operation, the data currently stored in the output buffer is flushed and the
write operation is aborted. Additionally, the callback function specified for the
OutputEmptyFcn property is executed. You can write data
asynchronously to the instrument using the fprintf or fwrite functions.
The output buffer is automatically flushed when you connect an object to the
instrument with the fopen function.
You can clear the input buffer with the flushinput function. You can
clear the hardware buffer for GPIB and VXI instruments with the clrdevice function.
