Reading data from ATI 6 axis F/T Sensor System sensor through comport and giving commands to the sensor

I'm collecting Force and torque data from the 6 axis Force/Torque Sensor Controller System via serial communication (comport). I ran into trouble of not being able to read/get data from the serial communication. Are there any suggestions on how I should deal with this issue?

Waiting time to complete a read or write operation, specified as a double. You configure Timeout to be the maximum time (in seconds) to wait to complete a read or write operation. The default value of 10 seconds is used if you do not specify a different value. Timeouts are rounded upwards to full seconds.

If a timeout occurs, the read or write operation aborts. Additionally, if a timeout occurs during an asynchronous read or write operation, then:

1. An error event is generated.
2. The callback function specified for ErrorFcn is executed.

You can try specifying the timeout to a longer value through the syntax: set(a, ‘Timeout’, 10)
