How to take values from .daq to .mat?

Hello everybody. I am doing a real time acquisition using .daq of my EEGs and EMGs. By using daqread, I can extract all the values for my EEG and EMG. However, I also calculate the strength of the muscle, one value per 4 seconds. The graph is a subplot (4,2,8). How can I extract the values from the subplot and read them in .mat? Thank you!

Hi! Can you show me the code you use to acquire EEG with DAQ and plot it in matlab? This is what I got but it only shows me data 1 sec at a time, and for an EEG I would like to get a continuous plot and the real time of the day on the x-axis instead of the seconds elapsed.

close all
dq = daq("ni");
ch1 = addinput(dq, "Dev1", "ai0", "Voltage");
% ch2 = addinput(dq, "Dev1", "ai1", "Voltage");
dq.Rate = 1000;
dq.ScansAvailableFcn = @(src,evt) plotDataAvailable(src, evt);
dq.ScansAvailableFcnCount = 100;
start(dq, "Duration", seconds(5));
while dq.Running
pause(0.5);
end
function plotDataAvailable(src, ~)
[data, timestamps, ~] = read(src, src.ScansAvailableFcnCount, "OutputFormat", "Matrix")
plot(timestamps, data);
title('EEG','FontSize',15);
xlabel ('Elapsed Time (s)','FontSize',10); ylabel('Voltage (V)','FontSize',10);
ax = gca;
ax.YGrid = 'on';
ax.XGrid = 'on';
% legend('electrode 1','electrode 2')
drawnow
end
