Create a function which can stop itself if its internal function gives no reaction within XX seconds ??

Hi, I am just wondering if there is any way to impletment a function like this:

function rslt = example1()

% start call main function
...
try % start followin function, if no feedback within XX seconds, then catch the error
      % call function another thread 
      rslt = callback();
catch
      rslt = 'error!!';
end
...
end

Anyone has an idea?

Thnks

AKAIK: There is no simple way to do that.

We discussed a function, watchdog, in another thread a year ago. I think you could apply the approach of my watchdog_demo. (The conditional break point must be set at an appropriate line in your function, callback.)

The problem is that the script will be hold at that place with arrow using dbstop, but not able to throw out error warning etc. Anyway to do this?

I don't understand the problem you see.
