Stopping the code in a given time

I am working on a project where I need the code to work for a certain time. The output is physical movement and I need to stop the code after the stated time in the code. How can I implement it ?

Thank you

You could create a while ... end loop for your routine where the condition evaluated involves comparing time to absolute or elapsed time.

There is a timer available in matlab the documentation explains how to implement one:
