可以在setInterval()中调用clearInterval()吗?

bigloop=setInterval(function () {
              var checked = $('#status_table tr [id^="monitor_"]:checked');
                if (checked.index()===-1 ||checked.length===0 || ){
                    bigloop=clearInterval(bigloop);
                    $('#monitor').button('enable');
                }else{

                        (function loop(i) {                           
                            //monitor element at index i
                            monitoring($(checked[i]).parents('tr'));
                            //delay of 3 seconds
                            setTimeout(function () {
                                //when incremented i is less than the number of rows, call loop for next index
                                if (++i < checked.length) loop(i);
                            }, 3000);
                        }(0)); //start with 0
                }                            
            }, index*3000); //loop period
bigloop=setInterval(function () {
