okay bestie, pull up a chair πŸ’– you've landed on DEVCLEARLIST(3) β€” that's section 3 of the manual, the land of library calls, and today's main character is a little function called DevClearList. no cap, it's a whole vibe. let's get into it ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

DevClearList β€” clear multiple devices 🧹✨ (yes, plural, she's a multitasker)


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first things first, you gotta bring the header in like your plus-one:

#include <gpib/ib.h>

and here's the whole entire function signature, copy it exactly, don't freestyle:

void DevClearList(int board_desc, const Addr4882_t addressList[]);

πŸ’« DESCRIPTION πŸ’«

okay so here's the tea πŸ“ β€” DevClear() makes the interface board you specified with board_desc send the clear command to every single GPIB address in the addressList array, all at the same time. simultaneous. iconic. no waiting in line πŸ’…

but wait, there's more:

  • if addressList is empty or NULL β€” the clear command goes out to all devices on the bus. everybody. the whole group chat gets the message πŸ“’
  • if you only wanna clear a single device? honestly bestie, DevClear() or ibclr() might be slightly more convenient for that. just saying πŸ‘€
