Running two functions in Parallel

Hello everyone, I have following situation: I am running a simple simulation of motion. A point mass moving at a constant velocity in XY plane. Now, I need to call a function to capture an image. Image capturing function takes about 2 seconds. I need first simulation (motion) keep on running while running the image capturing function. Is there any parallel computing tool in MATLAB that could be run without hindering simulation platform? Please advise. Many thanks.

Parallel Computing Toolbox's batch capability may do the trick for you. Fire off the image capture as a batch job while performing the simulation in the main process.

You cannot set equal times for statements inside parfor()
You should consider using a timer()
Note: a timer sounds like all you would need in your situation. Timers can interrupt between any two lines of MATLAB source. Unless you are doing uninterpretable real-time work in the simulation, you likely do not need parallelism.
