MaxCount = dataqueue.CAPACITY
while dataqueue.count < MaxCount do
dataqueue.add(1)

print("There are " .. dataqueue.count
.. " items in the data queue")
dataqueue.clear()
print("There are " .. dataqueue.count

Details
If the data queue is empty, the function waits up to the
timeout
value.
If data is not available in the data queue before the
timeout
expires, the return value is
nil
.
The entries in the data queue are removed in first-in, first-out (FIFO) order.
If the value is a table, a duplicate of the original table and any subtables is made. The duplicate table
does not contain any references to the original table or to any subtables.
