In the Resources/Matlab folder, you'll find a matlab_zeroMQ_wrapper_example.m, which shows how to send messages. Assuming the zeroMQ mex file is in the same directory (which it should be by default), all you have to do is initialize the connection using 'StartConnectThread' and the appropriate url, then send a message using 'Send', the handle of your connection, and the string you want.
