What is the intended way to run multiple unrelated scripts simultaneously?

I have several scripts running some basic data collection, from a variety of sources. They are all fully independant from each other, and none are particularly performance intensive.

It is currently operated by simply running multiple MATLAB instances.

I would like to unify them into one app designer program, so that each can be independantly stopped and started with a simple toggle for each data source.

What are my options to run these scripts together?

There are a few I can think of:

• Combine all data collection scripts into one function allowing me to specifiy which data sources to collect from as a function input
• Set up a parallel pool and run each script with a specific worker
• Compile the individual scripts and call them from the app designer

What is the intended way to accomplish this?

Many thanks!

The batch function seems to fulfill this purpose, although it's not as easy to interact with a script/function running in the background.
