Hi,
Does anyone know how to stream data over serial? I have a lot of data coming through a sensor and setting the buffer size and timeout really high is no good. Ideally I want to be able to say fprintf(sensor, 'Send Data') and then just save it all to an array as it comes in.

Cheers

How about just running a loop and continuously checking to
see if data is available, and if so, read the values. Here's
a jist of what I am referring to:

FLAGG=1;
data=[];
while FLAGG
   fprintf(EquipmentOBJ,'CheckAvailableBytes')
   check=fscanf(EquipmentOBJ);
   if check>0
      fprintf(EquipmentOBJ,'Getdata')
      data=[data fscanf(EquipmentOBJ)];
   end
end
