Continuously update MATLAB surf plot and animate it

I have the following loop that plots and re-plots data in MATLAB using thesurf() function. How do I get the plot to update while the values are changing and how do I animate it?

s = 1;
timerID = tic;
while true
    if(toc(timerID) > 25) 
        break;
    end
    for i=1: 5
        removeChannel(session, 7)
        addAnalogInputChannel(session,'cDAQ1Mod8',['ai' num2str(i+15)],'Voltage');
        for j=1: 5
            measurements(6-j,6-i) = abs(session.inputSingleScan) - abs(base);
        end
    end

      surf(interp2(flipud(abs(measurements)),4));
      view(0, 90);
      colorbar;
      pause(0.05)    

      s = s+1;
  end

I am not certain exactly what you want to do, and I cannot run your code to test this with it.

See if this example offers some idea on how to do what you want:

[X,Y] = meshgrid(linspace(-15, 15, 50));
fcn = @(x,y,k) k*x.^2 + y.^2;

v = [1:-0.05:-1;  -1:0.05:1];
for k1 = 1:2
    for k2 = v(k1,:)
        surfc(X, Y, fcn(X,Y,k2))
        axis([-15  15    -15  15    -300  500])
        drawnow
        pause(0.1)
    end
end
