Working with Timer Object Properties
Working with Timer Object Properties
The timer object supports many properties that provide information about the
current state of the timer object and control aspects of its functioning. The
following sections describe
• “Retrieving the Value of Timer Object Properties” on page 10-7
• “Setting the Value of Timer Object Properties” on page 10-8
To get information about timer object properties, see the timer function
reference page.
Retrieving the Value of Timer Object Properties
To retrieve the value of a timer object property, you can use the get function
or use subscripts (dot notation) to access the field.
The following example uses the set function to retrieve the value of the
ExecutionMode property:
t = timer;
tmode = get(t,'ExecutionMode')
tmode =
singleShot
The following example uses dot notation to retrieve the value of the
ExecutionMode property:
tmode = t.ExecutionMode
tmode =
singleShot
To view a list of all the properties of a timer object, use the get function,
specifying the timer object as the only argument:
