I will post my project with this code soon.
Create a timer object as follows:
properties (Access = private)
timerObj % timer
end
% startUpFcn
app.timerObj = timer('TimerFcn'), @(~,~)getModelValues(app), 'Period', 0.5, 'ExecutionMode', 'fixedSpacing', 'BusyMode', 'drop');
start(app.timerObj);
Create a function like getModelValues(app) with the get_param code and it will be called cyclically as you specifiy with the period.
