How to run Arduino Code with Matlab

Hello, so I am very new with Matlab and with the Arduino Uno that I have. I watched some youtube videos where people have controlled their Arduino board through Matlab. I downloaded the Arduino support package on MathWorks. I want to control a stepper motor and was wondering if it would be possible to run the code all through MatLab. The reason why I want to control it with Matlab is because I will be having a data acquisition device and a load cell hooked up to the Arduino board to gather data. What I'm not sure is if I also have to have some code in the Arduino script. Just a simple answer to get me started will be greatly appreciated. I am in the process of learning the programming language.

The "sample usage" section on the MATLAB Support Package for Arduino download page lists out all the available interfaces with the package. Note that if you have additional devices connected to the board, you can only talk to them through one of those interfaces (unless you want to extend the package). In the instructions for the Support Package, you will see that you need to download a server (.pde) file, which is also part of the package, to the Arduino board. This server will read and interpret the commands sent from the MATLAB Support package via the serial port (USB) interface.

Is there a way to analyse your arduino "Code" through matlab. Meaning the code is uploaded to the arduino device using standard arduino software. Is there a way to interface to run that code through matlab to see its outputs?
