This function clears any pending output data from the device. No data is returned to the caller and no
data is processed.
Example
tspnet.write(testdevice, "print([[hello]])")
print(tspnet.readavailable(testdevice))
tspnet.clear(testdevice)
print(tspnet.readavailable(testdevice))
Write data to a device, then print how much is available.
Output:
6.00000e+00
Clear data and print how much data is available again.
Output:
0.00000e+00
