Running Script using Timer
3 views (last 30 days)

I am trying to use Timer function to run a script at pre-specified interval (30 seconds). However, most of the examples, including MATLAB help, is directed towards using callback functions. However, when I tried something similar to use the script to run using timer, I get an error message.
Specifically, I am using Bloomberg's data function to get real time data and would like to simply revoke that Bloomberg function every 30 seconds.
Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Please feel free to ask question, if I am not being clear.
Thank you,

The trick is to use an anonymous function. Try
>> my_timer_test
2013-12-05 22:09:31
2013-12-05 22:09:43
2013-12-05 22:09:55
2013-12-05 22:10:07
where
%%my_timer_test
tmr = timer ...
( 'Name' , 'my_timer' ...
, 'TimerFcn' , @(x,y) my_script ...
, 'BusyMode' , 'drop' ...
, 'ExecutionMode' , 'fixedDelay' ...
, 'Period' , 12 ...
, 'StartDelay' , 1 ...
);
start( tmr )
and
%%my_script
disp( datestr( now, 31 ) )
are two script files

What does "it" refer to? Isn't it a case for ordinary debugging? http://undocumentedmatlab.com/ may have something useful to say on debugging Java code.
