% Create a timer object
t=timer;
Set execution mode of the timer object to fixedRate, fixedDelay or fixedSpacing to execute your call back repeatedly
set(t,'executionMode','fixedRate');
Specify the function handle or the command you want to be executed. In your case, for sending messages over a ROS topic , use send :
set(t,'TimerFcn','send(pub,msg)');
Set the frequency or period(in seconds),at which the timer callback function is called
% To publish the message at a rate of 50 times per second
set(t,'Period', 0.02);
% Start the timer
start(t);
ROS message msg is then sent periodically(every 0.02 seconds). To stop the timer:
stop(t);
Delete the timer object after usage
delete(t);

Hi Koundinya,
I'm trying to use the timer object which you suggested. I already created the publisher and it's respective message(pub,msg). But when I set set(t,'TimerFcn','send(pub,msg)'), and the other attributes
and run start(t); it says undefined function or variable msg,undefined function or variable pub.
Can you please help me out from this?

Hi Arun,
You need to first create a ROS publisher object(named 'pub' in this case) and then define a message ('msg') that is to be published. Take a look at the documentation of rospublisher and send for examples.
