Deleting Timer Objects from Memory
Deleting Timer Objects from Memory
When you are finished with a timer object, delete it from memory using the
delete function:
delete(t)
When you delete a timer object, workspace variables that referenced the object
remain. Deleted timer objects are invalid and cannot be reused. Use the clear
command to remove workspace variables that reference deleted timer objects.
Testing the Validity of a Timer Object
To test if a timer object has been deleted, use the isvalid function. The
isvalid function returns logical 0 (false) for deleted timer objects:
isvalid(t)
ans =
0
Deleting All Existing Timer Objects
To remove all timer objects from memory, enter
delete(timerfind)
For information about the timerfind function, see “Finding All Timer Objects
in Memory” on page 10-24.
