CLEAR
Function:
Erase currently opened buffer.
Scope:
Port specific
Syntax:
CLEAR
CLR
This command empties the program buffer (PROGRAM, PLC, ROTARY) that is currently opened on the
port over which the command is given. If used to empty an open rotary motion program buffer, it only
affects the buffer for the addressed coordinate system on that port.

affects the buffer for the addressed coordinate system on that port.
If there is no open program buffer, or if the program buffer that is open was opened from another
communications port, the CLEAR command will be rejected with an error, reporting ERR007 if I6=1 or 3.

Note:
Prior to V1.936 firmware, an open buffer could be accessed from any port, and the
CLEAR command could be used on one port to empty a buffer that had been
opened on another port. Starting in V1.936, a CLEAR command could only be
used to empty a buffer opened from the same port.

Typically, as a buffer file is created in the host computer, start with the OPEN {buffer} and CLEAR
commands (even though these lines are technically not part of the buffer), and follow with the actual
contents. This will allow easy edit of the buffers from the host and repeated downloading of the buffers,
erasing the old buffer’s contents in the process.

Example:
OPEN PROG 1
; Open motion program buffer 1
CLEAR
; Clear out this buffer
F1000
; Program really starts here!
X2500
;...and ends on this line!
CLOSE
; This closes the program buffer
OPEN PLC 3 CLEAR CLOSE ; This erases PLC 3
