Create a rateControl object for running at 20 Hz.

r = rateControl(2);

Start a loop and control operation using the Rate object.

for i = 1:30
    % Your code goes here
    waitfor(r);
end

Display the rateControl object properties after loop operation.

disp(r)
  rateControl with properties:

         DesiredRate: 2
       DesiredPeriod: 0.5000
       OverrunAction: 'slip'
    TotalElapsedTime: 15.0062
          LastPeriod: 0.5000

Reset the object to restart the time statistics.

reset(r);
disp(r)
