Examples

Release and Reset an Object

Use the release method to release resources and change properties of System object™ counter. Refer to the example in setup for the class definition of counter.

Extended Capabilities

C/C++ Code Generation

Generate C and C++ code using MATLAB® Coder™.

You can use release on a System object in code generated from MATLAB^®, but after you release its resources, you cannot use that System object again.
