How do i become Controller in Charge using a board object in c#

I am using a board object in c# to communicate to a device.  everything works well if i open up interactive mode on the gpib and write ibrsc 1 and then ibsic.  So this means that i need to make sure that my board is the controller in charge and then to send an interface clear.  How do i become the controller in charge in c# and then how do i send a interface clear.  i noticed there is an sendinterfaceclear() function but what is the difference between that and just the clear() function. 
Thanks

Hi,
 
The Send Interface Clear function clears the GPIB functions with Interface Clear (IFC), and will force the GPIB board (the System Controller) to be the controller-in-charge, so all you will need to do is call this function to set the controller-in-charge.  The Clear function sends either SDC (Selected Device Clear) or DCL (Device Clear).
