VISA Discard Events Function

Owning Palette: Event Handling VIs and Functions

Requires: Base Development System

Discards all pending occurrences of the specified event type and mechanism from the specified session.

This function discards information about all the event occurrences that have not yet been handled. This behavior is useful if you want to remove event occurrences that an operation no longer needs. Discarded event occurrences are not available to a session at a later time.
