Description
Clears either the program buffer or the sequential buffer,
depending on the value of <Buffer>.
It is recommended that this command be used before sending a
program to the drive by serial communication to remove an
existing program from memory. Not doing so can result in
unexpected behavior, such as the program jumping to labels
within the old program.
