Real-time data analysis and plotting

Dear all,

I am currently facing the following problem: I am trying to acquire with matlab the data streams from an optical sensor as well as an inertial navigation unit. Each packet in these two streams can then be combined with some rotational algebra to return a specific image. What I'd like to do is:

1. Continue acquiring the two data stream continuously 2. Every time a packet from the two data stream is received pass it to a third worker (as in parpool, maybe?) 3. The third worker combines the packet and displays the resulting image 4. The image is continuously updated by the constant data stream from the two sensors.

I guess that something like that is possible with parpool and labSend/labReceive, but I fail to find any example or demo that can point me towards the correct implementation. Has anyone attempted something like that? How should I proceed?

Thanks so much!

What's the hardware setup? Can the acquisition equipment support simultaneous sampling and buffering?
