Methods help
addepoch - add an epoch to the ndi.element
[NDI_ELEMENT_OBJ, EPOCHDOC] = ADDEPOCH(NDI_ELEMENT_TIMESERIES_OBJ, EPOCHID, EPOCHCLOCK, T0_T1, TIMEPOINTS, DATAPOINTS)
Registers the data for an epoch with the NDI_ELEMENT_OBJ.
Inputs:
NDI_ELEMENT_OBJ: The ndi.element object to modify
EPOCHID: The name of the epoch to add; should match the name of an epoch from the probe
EPOCHCLOCK: The epoch clock; must be a single clock type that matches one of the clock types
of the probe
T0_T1: The starting time and ending time of the existence of information about the ELEMENT on
the probe, in units of the epock clock
TIMEPOINTS: the time points to be added to this epoch; can also be the string 'probe' which means the
points are read directly from the probe (must be Tx1). Timepoints must be in the units
of the EPOCHCLOCK.
DATAPOINTS: the data points that accompany each timepoint (must be TxXxY...), or can be 'probe' to
read from the probe
Outputs:
If a second output is requested in EPOCHDOC, then the DOC is NOT added to the database
buildepochgraph - compute the epochgraph among epochs for an ndi.epoch.epochset object
[COST,MAPPING] = BUILDEPOCHGRAPH(NDI_EPOCHSET_OBJ)
Compute the cost and the mapping among epochs in the EPOCHTABLE for an ndi.epoch.epochset object
COST is an MxM matrix where M is the number of EPOCHNODES.
For example, if there is one epoch with clock types 'dev_local_time' and 'utc', then M is 2.
Each entry COST(i,j) indicates whether there is a mapping between (epoch, clocktype) i to j.
The cost of each transformation is normally 1 operation.
MAPPING is the ndi.time.timemapping object that describes the mapping.
In the abstract class, the following NDI_CLOCKTYPEs, if they exist, are linked across epochs with
a cost of 1 and a linear mapping rule with shift 1 and offset 0:
'utc' -> 'utc'
'utc' -> 'approx_utc'
'exp_global_time' -> 'exp_global_time'
'exp_global_time' -> 'approx_exp_global_time'
'dev_global_time' -> 'dev_global_time'
'dev_global_time' -> 'approx_dev_global_time'

(that is, the hash number from the EPOCHTABLE of NDI_EPOCHSET_OBJ
has not changed). If there is no cached version, or if it is not up-to-date,
COST and MAPPING will be empty. If the cached epochgraph is present and not up-to-date,
it is deleted.

epoch2str - convert an epoch number or id to a string
S = EPOCH2STR(NDI_EPOCHSET_OBJ, NUMBER)
Returns the epoch NUMBER in the form of a string. If it is a simple
integer, then INT2STR is used to produce a string. If it is an epoch
identifier string, then it is returned.

epochclock - return the ndi.time.clocktype objects for an epoch
EC = EPOCHCLOCK(NDI_ELEMENT_OBJ, EPOCH_NUMBER)

Compute the cost and the mapping among epochs in the EPOCHTABLE for an ndi.epoch.epochset object
COST is an MxM matrix where M is the number of ordered pairs of (epochs, clocktypes).
For example, if there is one epoch with clock types 'dev_local_time' and 'utc', then M is 2.
Each entry COST(i,j) indicates whether there is a mapping between (epoch, clocktype) i to j.

epochid - Get the epoch identifier for a particular epoch
ID = EPOCHID (NDI_EPOCHSET_OBJ, EPOCH_NUMBER)
Returns the epoch identifier string for the epoch EPOCH_NUMBER.
If it doesn't exist, it should be created. EPOCH_NUMBER can be
a number of an EPOCH ID string.
The abstract class just queries the EPOCHTABLE.
Most classes that manage epochs themselves (ndi.file.navigator,
ndi.daq.system) will override this method.
Help for ndi.element.timeseries/epochid is inherited from superclass ndi.epoch.epochset
epochnodes - return all epoch nodes from an ndi.epoch.epochset object
[NODES,UNDERLYINGNODES] = EPOCHNODES(NDI_EPOCHSET_OBJ)
Return all EPOCHNODES for an ndi.epoch.epochset. EPOCHNODES consist of the
following fields:
Fieldname: | Description
------------------------------------------------------------------------
'epoch_id' | The epoch ID code (will never change once established, though it may be deleted.)
| This epoch ID uniquely specifies the epoch within the session.
'epoch_session_id' | The ID of the session that contains the epoch
'epochprobemap' | Any contents information for each epoch, usually of type ndi.epoch.epochprobemap or empty.
'epoch_clock' | A SINGLE ndi.time.clocktype entry that describes the clock type of this node.
't0_t1' | The times [t0 t1] of the beginning and end of the epoch in units of 'epoch_clock'

| It contains fields 'underlying', 'epoch_id', and 'epochprobemap'
'objectname' | A string containing the 'name' field of NDI_EPOCHSET_OBJ, if it exists. If there is no
| 'name' field, then 'unknown' is used.
'objectclass' | The object class name of the NDI_EPOCHSET_OBJ.
EPOCHNODES are related to EPOCHTABLE entries, except
a) only 1 ndi.time.clocktype is permitted per epoch node. If an entry in epoch table contains
multiple ndi.time.clocktype entries, then each one will have its own epoch node. This aids
in the construction of the EPOCHGRAPH that helps the system map time from one epoch to another.
b) EPOCHNODES contain identifying information (objectname and objectclass) to help
in identifying the epoch nodes across ndi.epoch.epochset objects.
UNDERLYINGNODES are nodes that are directly linked to this ndi.epoch.epochset's node via 'underlying' epochs.

NAME = EPOCHSETNAME(NDI_ELEMENT_OBJ)
Returns the object name that is used when creating epoch nodes.
For ndi.element objects, this is ndi.element/ELEMENTSTRING.
Help for ndi.element.timeseries/epochsetname is inherited from superclass ndi.element
epochtable - Return an epoch table that relates the current object's epochs to underlying epochs
[ET,HASHVALUE] = EPOCHTABLE(NDI_EPOCHSET_OBJ)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
'epoch_number' | The number of the epoch. The number may change as epochs are added and subtracted.
'epoch_id' | The epoch ID code (will never change once established, though it may be deleted.)
| This epoch ID uniquely specifies the epoch.
'epoch_session_id' | The session ID that contains this epoch
'epochprobemap' | Any contents information for each epoch, usually of type ndi.epoch.epochprobemap or empty.
'epoch_clock' | A cell array of ndi.time.clocktype objects that describe the type of clocks available
't0_t1' | A cell array of ordered pairs [t0 t1] that indicates, for each ndi.time.clocktype, the start and stop
| time of this epoch. The time units of t0_t1{i} match epoch_clock{i}.
'underlying_epochs' | A structure array of the ndi.epoch.epochset objects that comprise these epochs.
| It contains fields 'underlying', 'epoch_number', 'epoch_id', and 'epochprobemap'
HASHVALUE is the hashed value of the epochtable. One can check to see if the epochtable
has changed with ndi.epoch.epochset/MATCHEDEPOCHTABLE.
After it is read from disk once, the ET is stored in memory and is not re-read from disk
unless the user calls ndi.epoch.epochset/RESETEPOCHTABLE.

readtimeseries - read the ndi.element.timeseries data from a probe based on specified time relative to an NDI_TIMEFERENCE or epoch
[DATA, T, TIMEREF] = READTIMESERIES(NDI_ELEMENT_TIMESERIES_OBJ, TIMEREF_OR_EPOCH, T0, T1)
Reads timeseries data from an ndi.element.timeseries object. The DATA and time information T that are
returned depend on the the specific subclass of ndi.element.timeseries that is called (see READTIMESERIESEPOCH).
In the base class, this function merely calls the element's probe's READTIMESERIES function.
TIMEREF_OR_EPOCH is either an ndi.time.timereference object indicating the time reference for
T0, T1, or it can be a single number, which will indicate the data are to be read from that
epoch.

ndi.time.timereference object or in units of the epoch if an epoch is passed. The TIMEREF is returned.

NDI_EPOCHSET_OBJ = RESETEPOCHTABLE(NDI_EPOCHSET_OBJ)
This function clears the internal cached memory of the epochtable, forcing it to be re-read from
disk at the next request.
