Retrieving the Value of Timer Object Properties

To retrieve the value of a timer object property, you can use the get function or use subscripts (dot notation) to access the field.

The following example uses the set function to retrieve the value of the ExecutionMode property:

• t = timer;
  
  tmode = get(t,'ExecutionMode')
  
  tmode =
  
  singleShot
  

The following example uses dot notation to retrieve the value of the ExecutionMode property:

• tmode = t.ExecutionMode
  
  tmode =
  
  singleShot
  

To view a list of all the properties of a timer object, use the get function, specifying the timer object as the only argument:

• get(t)
         AveragePeriod: NaN
              BusyMode: 'drop'
              ErrorFcn: ''
         ExecutionMode: 'singleShot'
         InstantPeriod: NaN
                  Name: 'timer-4'
      ObjectVisibility: 'on'
                Period: 1
               Running: 'off'
            StartDelay: 0
              StartFcn: ''
               StopFcn: ''
                   Tag: ''
         TasksExecuted: 0
        TasksToExecute: Inf
              TimerFcn: ''
                  Type: 'timer'
              UserData: []
