Loosing data during serial connection.

Question

0 votes

Dear All! I have a device sending data to my PC via COM port. Firstly device sends 1000 strings with data, then another info (plus 3 strings) and after all EOT symbol. I receive and process all this data on my PC using MATLAB. But MATLAB receives only 608 strings, at that the last string includes a EOT symbol. When I use a terminal programm to receive data from my device it receives all the data. Please help me to resolve this problem. And one more question: I receive data while EOT symbol is received. Is there any elegant way to catch it? Thank you!

          sp = serial(currentPort, 'baudRate', 115200);
          msg = strcat(currentPort,' opened successfully!');
          fopen(sp);
          set(handles.state, 'ForegroundColor', [0, 1, 0]);    
          set(handles.state, 'String', msg);
      catch ME
          set(handles.state, 'ForegroundColor', [1, 0, 0]);
          set(handles.state, 'String', 'Error');
