addepochtag - Add tag(s) for an epoch
ADDEPOCHTAG(NDI_EPOCHSET_PARAM_OBJ, EPOCHNUMBER, TAG)
Tags are name/value pairs returned in the form of a structure
array with fields 'name' and 'value'. These tags will be added to any
tags in the epoch EPOCHNUMBER. If tags with the same names as those in TAG
already exist, they will be overwritten. If there is no epoch
EPOCHNUMBER, then an error is returned.

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'

'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'
| 'underlying' contains the file list for each epoch; 'epoch_id' and 'epoch_number'

Returns the default EPOCHPROBEMAPFILENAME for the ndi.daq.system NDI_DEVICE_OBJ for epoch NUMBER.
If there are no files in epoch NUMBER, an error is generated. NUMBER cannot be an epoch id.
In the base class, ndi.epoch.epochprobemap_daqsystem data is stored as a hidden file in the same directory
as the first epoch file. If the first file in the epoch file list is 'PATH/MYFILENAME.ext', then
the default ndi.epoch.epochprobemap_daqsystem data is stored as 'PATH/.MYFILENAME.ext.epochprobemap.ndi.'.
This may be overridden if there is an EPOCHPROBEMAP_FILEPARAMETERS set.

epochid - EPOCHID = Get the epoch identifier for a particular epoch
ID = EPOCHID(NDI_FILENAVIGATOR_EPOCHDIR_OBJ, EPOCH_NUMBER, [EPOCHFILES])
Returns the epoch identifier string for the epoch EPOCH_NUMBER.
For the ndi.file.navigator.epochdir object, each EPOCH is organized in its own subdirectory,
and the epoch identifier is the _name_ of the subdirectory.
For example, if my device has a file tree that reads files with extension .dat,
the session directory is
mysession/
t00001/
mydata.dat
Then ID is 't00001'
epochidfilename - return the file path for the ndi.epoch.epochprobemap_daqsystem file for an epoch
ECFNAME = EPOCHPROBEMAPFILENAME(NDI_FILENAVIGATOR_OBJ, NUMBER)
Returns the EPOCHPROBEMAPFILENAME for the ndi.daq.system NDI_DEVICE_OBJ for epoch NUMBER.
If there are no files in epoch NUMBER, an error is generated.
In the base class, ndi.epoch.epochprobemap_daqsystem data is stored as a hidden file in the same directory
as the first epoch file. If the first file in the epoch file list is 'PATH/MYFILENAME.ext', then
the ndi.epoch.epochprobemap_daqsystem data is stored as 'PATH/.MYFILENAME.ext.epochid.ndi.'.

'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'
'underlying_epochs' | A structure array of the ndi.epoch.epochset objects that comprise these epochs.
| 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.

[EXP]/.ndi/device_name/epoch_NNNNNNNNN.ndierf, where [EXP] is the session's path.
However, one can pass search parameters that will search among all the file names returned by
ndi.file.navigator/GETEPOCHS. The search parameter should be a regular expression or a set of regular
expressions such as:
Example: theepochprobemapfileparameters = '.*\.ext\>'
Example: theepochprobemapfileparameters = {'myfile1.ext1', 'myfile2.ext2'}
Example: theepochprobemapfileparameters = {'#.ext1', 'myfile#.ext2'} (# is the same, unknown string)

setepochtag - Set tag(s) for an epoch
SETEPOCHTAG(NDI_EPOCHSET_PARAM_OBJ, EPOCHNUMBER, TAG)
Tags are name/value pairs returned in the form of a structure
array with fields 'name' and 'value'. These tags will replace any
tags in the epoch directory. If there is no epoch EPOCHNUMBER, then
an error is returned.

setfileparameters - Set the fileparameters field of a ndi.file.navigator object
NDI_FILENAVIGATOR_OBJ = SETFILEPARAMETERS(NDI_FILENAVIGATOR_OBJ, THEFILEPARAMETERS)
THEFILEPARAMETERS is a string or cell list of strings that specifies the files
that comprise an epoch.
Example: filematch = '.*\.ext\>'
Example: filematch = {'myfile1.ext1', 'myfile2.ext2'}
Example: filematch = {'#.ext1', 'myfile#.ext2'} (# is the same, unknown string)
Alternatively, THEFILEPARAMETERS can be delivered as a structure with the following fields:
Fieldname: | Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------
filematch | A string or cell list of strings that need to be matched
| Regular expressions are allowed
| Example: filematch = '.*\.ext\>'
| Example: filematch = {'myfile1.ext1', 'myfile2.ext2'}
| Example: filematch = {'#.ext1', 'myfile#.ext2'} (# is the same, unknown string)

t0_t1 - return the t0_t1 (beginning and end) epoch times for an epoch
T0T1 = T0_T1(NDI_EPOCHSET_OBJ, EPOCH_NUMBER)
Return the beginning (t0) and end (t1) times of the epoch EPOCH_NUMBER
in the same units as the ndi.time.clocktype objects returned by EPOCHCLOCK.
The abstract class always returns {[NaN NaN]}.

underlyingepochnodes - find all the underlying epochnodes of a given epochnode
[UNODES, COST, MAPPING] = UNDERLYINGEPOCHNODES(NDI_EPOCHSET_OBJ, EPOCHNODE)
Traverse the underlying nodes of a given EPOCHNODE until we get to the roots
(an ndi.epoch.epochset object with ISSYNGRAPHROOT that returns 1).
Note that the EPOCHNODE itself is returned as the first 'underlying' node.

verifyepochprobemap - Verifies that an EPOCHPROBEMAP is appropriate for the ndi.epoch.epochset.param object
[B,MSG] = VERIFYEPOCHPROBEMAP(ndi.epoch.epochset.param, EPOCHPROBEMAP, EPOCH_NUMBER_OR_ID)
Examines the ndi.epoch.epochprobemap_daqsystem EPOCHPROBEMAP and determines if it is valid for the given
epoch number or epoch id EPOCH_NUMBER_OR_ID.
For the abstract class EPOCHPROBEMAP is always valid as long as EPOCHPROBEMAP is an
ndi.epoch.epochprobemap_daqsystem object.
If B is 0, then the error message is returned in MSG.
