You can try this:
a_pin = 0;
fs = 4; % sampling frequency (samplings per second)
mt = 20; % time for measurements
ind = 1;
nind = 1;
last_beep = 0;
tic;
while toc < mt
time(ind) = toc;
v(ind) = a.analogRead(a_pin);
% wait for appropriate time for next measurement
while( nind == ind )
nind = floor(toc*fs) + 1;
end
ind = nind;
% beep every second
if (ceil(toc) > last_beep)
beep(); % don't know if this one exist, check docs
last_beep = ceil(toc);
end
end
