Try this,

function a = test

a = timer('ExecutionMode','fixedRate','Period',1,'TimerFcn',@myfun);
start(a);

end

function myfun(obj,evt)

for i=1:3
    disp(datestr(now));
end
disp('===============');

end

and call it with

my_timer = test();

When you like to stop the timer call

stop(my_timer)

Or in the case you want to wait until the timer is done and you know how often the for loop should be triggered do this:

function a = test

a = timer('ExecutionMode','fixedRate','Period',1,'TimerFcn',@myfun,'TasksToExecute',10);
start(a);
wait(a);
disp('timer done')

end

function myfun(obj,evt)

for i=1:3
    disp(datestr(now));
end
disp('===============');

end

Make sure the tme myfun needs to run is lower than 1 second.
