DAQmxClearTask

int32 DAQmxClearTask (TaskHandle taskHandle);

Purpose

Clears the task. Before clearing, this function stops the task, if necessary, and releases any resources reserved by the task. You cannot use a task once you clear the task without recreating or reloading the task.

If you use the DAQmxCreateTask function or any of the NI-DAQmx Create Channel functions within a loop, use this function within the loop after you finish with the task to avoid allocating unnecessary memory.
