- Setup a connection to serial port and read the data. For this purpose you can use the "serialport" function to establish a communication channel with the serial port. However, please note that this function was introduced in R2019b. If you are using older releases of MATLAB, I would suggest you to use the "serial" function for establishing the connection with the serial port.
- Use the file I/O operations for reading the port data as mentioned in the following documentation: https://in.mathworks.com/help/matlab/low-level-file-i-o.html?s_tid=CRUX_lftnav
- For creating a real time plot, retrieve the data chunks from the serial port and keep adding them to the same figure by using the "hold on" command or the "drawnow" function. You can also have a look at the following MATLAB Answer describing a few ways to plot in real time: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/83192-plot-in-real-time
