Is there a way to make Matlab stop a script if it's taking to long?

I'm using XFOIL and periodically it won't converge after a certain number of iterations. After the nth iteration instead of stopping it stays hung up in XFOIL. From experience, I know the data at that is point useless and I'd like to proceed onto the next data set. To do this I need to restart MATLAB and restart the code. If I could say "after 2 minutes no data has been returned move onto the next data point" it would be extremely useful.

The only way to do this in MATLAB is to use batch() or parfeval() to execute the code, and if you do not have an answer by the time you want, then to cancel() the parallel future.
