Hi Paskah,
you can use timers in Matlab to send continously data to your serial device.
t = timer ;
set(t,'ExecutionMode','fixedRate');
set(t,'Period',0.01);
set(t,'TimerFcn',{@mytimer_serial, handles});
start(t)
In the mytimer_serial function you can fire the command to the serial line. But please be careful about the precision as Walter already stated.

Yes, the timer period will be _approximately_ 0.01 seconds.
I see Gerd has specified fixedRate, which is probably what you want. For more information on the choices, please see

Thanx Mr Gerd

What precision do you need on the 10 milliseconds?
Is there a USB / serial device involved in this, or is it a directly connected serial port?

serial device involved
Please note that if any USB device is installed, times of 10 millisecond will require special configuration or special programming.
