Computer Clock as trigger for data acquisition

I have a GTX 1080 Ti with the latest drivers (382.33) and MATLAB 2016b.

When starting MATLAB I receive the error "MATLAB previously crashed due to a low-level graphics error..." and it automatically sets opengl to 'software'.

If I try to set it to 'hardware' I get another error "Unable to select hardware OpenGL rendering."

Any idea how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Matlab's timer function can be used to trigger the reading in certain time intervals.

The High-Accuracy-Timer might be helpful also under Windows, but an inefficient construction like an infinite WHILE loop is required to check this timer frequently.

Matlab's pause is less accurate as the equivalent Java method as Yair has explained. But as far as I understand, you do not need a certain interval between calls, but calls to certain times, such that it sounds like a task for the suggested TIMER.
