Problem with using siunitx (latex) in xlabel, ylabel,

What I have tried so far:

xlabel('Zeit ($\unit{\second}$)', 'Interpreter', 'latex');

and

xlabel(['Zeit ', '$(\unit{\second})$'], 'Interpreter', 'latex');

Both ways don't work. I get the error:

String scalar or character vector must have valid interpreter syntax:

xlabel('Zeit $(SI[\\s]$)', 'Interpreter', 'latex');

I want to use the \unit command to write \second. There shouldn't be a SI. And this still does not work

MATLAB text objects do not support all LaTeX operations or options. There is some guidance on that in the documentation section I linked to here.

So there is no way of doing this?

You will need to be creative!
