MATLAB Programming

10 Scheduling Program Execution with Timers
2 Specify the value of the StartFcn callback. Note that the example specifies
the value in a cell array because the callback function needs to access
arguments passed to it.
t.StartFcn = {'my_callback_fcn', 'My start message'};
3 Specify the value of the StopFcn callback. The example specifies the
callback function by its handle, rather than as a text string. Again, the
value is specified in a cell array because the callback function needs to
access the arguments passed to it.
t.StopFcn = { @my_callback_fcn, 'My stop message'};
4 Specify the value of the TimerFcn callback. The example specifies the
MATLAB commands in a text string.
t.TimerFcn = 'disp(''Hello World!'')';
5 Start the timer object.
start(t)
The example outputs the following.
StartFcn event occurred at 10-Mar-2004 17:16:59
Start message
Hello World!
Hello World!
StopFcn event occurred at 10-Mar-2004 17:16:59
Stop message
6 Delete the timer object after you are finished with it.
delete(t)
