timer and gui edit

[Alessandro C.]

Hi all

This is my code:

a = 1;
while a == 1
t = timer('TimerFcn', 'y = myfunction(x)');
start(t)
pause(2)
end

I would like to show the y value in a edit object every 2
seconds. How can I do it?

Thank you in advance

Alessandro

Hello
Define your timer function and start the timer in the
gui_openingfcn if you want the timer to start as soon as
the gui is loaded or you can define the timer function in
the gui_openingfcn() but start the timer only say after
the pushbutton is pressed.
You dont need the while loop at all as the timer function
will the job for you.
Try this;

function main_gui_OpeningFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles,
varargin)
handles.guifig = gcf;
handles.tmr = timer('TimerFcn',
{@TmrFcn,handles.guifig},'BusyMode','Queue',...
'ExecutionMode','FixedRate','Period',2);%timer
updating after every 2 secs
guidata(handles.guifig,handles);

start(handles.tmr);
guidata(hObject, handles);

%Timer Function
function TmrFcn(src,event,handles) %Timer function
handles = guidata(handles);
x = myfunction(y);%define your function here
set(handles.edit1,'String',num2str(x)); %assuming x is
type 'double'
guidata(handles.guifig, handles);

Hi, i'm new here.
I must make GUI with timer and yours example works perfectly but only with Edit boxes and I need updating Axes too. In my GUI it opens figure1 in each Timerfcn.

function TmrFcn(src,event,handles) %Timer function

handles = guidata(handles);
axes(handles.axes1);
hold off
bar([2,1],'r');
guidata(handles.output, handles);

what's wrong? i must use set?

Thx for your help.
