Call function to start standby in matlab mode

Question

Is it possible to call a function in Matlab when the program that I run is inactive? I do not want this to be a parallel process. In addition, I would prefer a solution in which I could pause and resume the function when the main program should start again. Like interruption in embedded systems, in my case the main program is interruption.

How can i do this?

Answer 1

You can use the timer object to start / stop the second function. see matlab documentation. See also this mathworks blog post.
