GUI must run on the main MATLAB thread, never in a worker. Because of that you must use one of the following techniques:

• create a "communicating job" using https://www.mathworks.com/help/distcomp/createcommunicatingjob.html or parfeval(), and use parallel.pool.DataQueue() or parallel.pool.PollableDataQueue() to send messages back to the client
• use parfor with one worker, together with one of the two data queues
• use parfeval() or batch() or create a communicating job, together with using memmapfile() or a shared memory segment ("shared matrix" contribution in from File Exchange) to communicate between the two sides

However, do not try to use plain parfor without a parallel queue, or spmd for this purpose: they will take control and you will not be able to manage the GUI until they completed

It is possible that I missed an option or three.

.... But generally speaking, when you are communicating with an external device like that, unless the device is high bandwidth or requires low latency, then typically the better approach is to program access through callbacks, without using any parallel processing.
