RS232 Serial communication

I am trying to communicate with a device via RS232. When communicating thru Windows Powershell, I wrote the following and I can receive data just fine.

 C:\> $port= new-Object System.IO.Ports.SerialPort COM67,4800,Even,7,one
 C:\> $port.open()
 C:\> $port.ReadLine()

I get the expected data in Powershell just fine when I do this. The remote device is currently set RUN mode, where it output data constantly without polling. Now, when I try to communicate with the same device thru MATLAB, I am facing issues. This is what I have written in the *.m file:

s = serial('COM67');
set(s,'BaudRate',4800, 'DataBits', 7, 'Parity', 'even', 'StopBits', 1);
fopen(s);
out = fscanf(s);
fclose(s)
delete(s)
clear s

I do not get an output, and get a timeout message. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

It could be a line termination property issue. For example it might sending carriage returns but the default setting is newlines
