Timer Callback Function Variable period

7 views (last 30 days)
Hi,
I have successfully built is timer callback function in matalb to control my stepper motor. The period in my timer function is currently a constant and doesnt change. t.Period = timestep;
Is it possible to change the period, or the variable 'timestep' while my timer is running?
For example, if I have 20 steps to execute I want my 'timestep' to be an array of 20 with different times for each execution?
Is it possible to have the period changing from one execution to the other?
Cheers
Farid

No, the timer period cannot be changed while the timer is active.
You can have the TimerFcn stop() the timer and set a period and start() the timer again
