canbereadtogether - can the channels in a channel struct be read in a single function call?

[B,ERRORMSG] = CANBEREADTOGETHER(NDR_READER_BASE_OBJ, CHANNELSTRUCT)

  Returns 1 if the NDR_READER_BASE_OBJ can read all of the channels in
  CHANNELSTRUCT with a single function call. If they cannot be read together,
  a description is provided in ERRORMSG.

  In the abstract class, this returns 1 if all of the samplerate values are
  the same and none are NaNs.

  CHANNELSTRUCT is a structure with the following fields:
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  | Parameter                   | Description                                  |
  |-----------------------------|----------------------------------------------|
  | internal_type               | Internal channel type; the type of channel as|
  |                             |   it is known to the device.                 |
  | internal_number             | Internal channel number, as known to device  |
  | internal_channelname        | Internal channel name, as known to the device|
  | ndr_type                    | The NDR type of channel; should be one of the|
  |                             |   types returned by                          |
  |                             |   ndr.reader.base.mfdaq_type                 |
  | samplerate                  | The sampling rate of this channel, or NaN if |
  |                             |   not applicable.
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  in the abstract class, this returns 1 if all the samplerates are the same
  and none are NaNs

daqchannels2internalchannels - convert a set of DAQ channel prefixes and channel numbers to an internal structure to pass to internal reading functions

CHANNELSTRUCT = DAQCHANNELS2INTERNALCHANNELS(NDR_READER_TDT_SEV_OBJ, ...
     CHANNELPREFIX, CHANNELNUMBERS, EPOCHSTREAMS, EPOCH_SELECT)

  Inputs:
  For a set of CHANNELPREFIX (cell array of channel prefixes that describe channels for
  this device) and CHANNELNUMBER (array of channel numbers, 1 for each entry in CHANNELPREFIX),
  and for a given recording epoch (specified by EPOCHSTREAMS and EPOCH_SELECT), this function
  returns a structure CHANNELSTRUCT describing the channel information that should be passed to
  READCHANNELS_EPOCHSAMPLES or READEVENTS_EPOCHSAMPLES.

  EPOCHSTREAMS is a cell array of full path file names or remote
  access streams that comprise the epoch of data

  EPOCH_SELECT allows one to choose which epoch in the file one wants to access,
  if the file(s) has more than one epoch contained. For most devices, EPOCH_SELECT is always 1.

  Output: CHANNELSTRUCT is a structure with the following fields:
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  | Parameter                   | Description                                  |
  |-----------------------------|----------------------------------------------|
  | internal_type               | Internal channel type; the type of channel as|
  |                             |   it is known to the device.                 |
  | internal_number             | Internal channel number, as known to device  |
  | internal_channelname        | Internal channel name, as known to the device|
  | ndr_type                    | The NDR type of channel; should be one of the|
  |                             |   types returned by                          |
  |                             |   ndr.reader.base.mfdaq_type                 |
  | samplerate                  | The sampling rate of this channel, or NaN if |
  |                             |   not applicable.                            |
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

epochclock - return the ndr.time.clocktype objects for an epoch

EC = EPOCHCLOCK(NDR_READER_BASE_OBJ, EPOCHSTREAMS, EPOCH_SELECT)

  Return the clock types available for this epoch as a cell array
  of ndr.time.clocktype objects (or sub-class members).

  For the generic ndr.reader.base, this returns a single clock

readchannels_epochsamples - Read the data based on specified channels

DATA = READCHANNELS_EPOCHSAMPLES(TDT_SEV_OBJ, CHANNELTYPE, CHANNEL, EPOCH, S0, S1)

   CHANNELTYPE is the type of channel to read (single text string,
   such as 'ai','analog_input','time') or a cell array of strings for each channel

   CHANNEL is a vector of the channel numbers to read, beginning
   from 1.

   EPOCH is the epoch number to read from.

   DATA will have one column per channel.

readevents_epochsamples_native - read events or markers of specified channels for a specified epoch

[DATA] = READEVENTS_EPOCHSAMPLES_NATIVE(NDR_READER_BASE_OBJ, CHANNELTYPE, CHANNEL, EPOCHFILES, T0, T1)

   CHANNELTYPE is the type of channel to read
   ('event','marker', etc). It must be a string (not a cell array of strings).

   CHANNEL is a vector with the identity of the channel(s) to be read.

   EPOCH is the epoch number or epochID

   DATA is a two-column vector; the first column has the time of the event. The second
   column indicates the marker code. In the case of 'events', this is just 1. If more than one channel
   is requested, DATA is returned as a cell array, one entry per channel.

   TIMEREF is an ndi.time.timereference with the NDI_CLOCK of the device, referring to epoch N at time 0 as the reference.

samplerate - Get the sample rate for specific channel

SR = SAMPLERATE(TDT_SEV_OBJ, EPOCHSTREAMS, EPOCH_SELECT, CHANNELTYPE, CHANNEL)

   SR is an array of sample rates from the specified channels in samples/sec.

   CHANNELTYPE can be either a string or a cell array of strings
   the same length as the vector CHANNEL.
   If CHANNELTYPE is a single string, then it is assumed that that
   CHANNELTYPE applies to every entry of CHANNEL.

t0_t1 - Return the beginning and end epoch times for an

epoch

   T0T1 = T0_T1(TDT_SEV_OBJ, EPOCHSTREAMS, EPOCH_SELECT)

   Return the beginning (t0) and end (t1) times of the epoch
   EPOCH_NUMBER in the same units as the ndr.time.clocktype objects
   returned by EPOCH_NUMBER.

   See also: ndr.time.clocktype, EPOCHCLOCK

tdt_sev - Create a new Neuroscience Data Reader object for TDT SEV format

TDT_SEV_OBJ = TDT_SEV()

   Creates a Neuroscience Data Reader object of the Tucker Davis Technologies
   (TDT) .SEV file format.

    Documentation for ndr.reader.tdt_sev/tdt_sev
       doc ndr.reader.tdt_sev

underlying_datatype - get the underlying data type for a channel in an epoch

[DATATYPE,P,DATASIZE] = UNDERLYING_DATATYPE(NDR_READER_OBJ, EPOCHSTREAMS, EPOCH_SELECT, CHANNELTYPE, CHANNEL)

  Return the underlying datatype for the requested channel.

  DATATYPE is a type that is suitable for passing to FREAD or FWRITE
   (e.g., 'float64', 'uint16', etc. See help fread.)

  P is a matrix of polynomials that converts between the double data that is returned by
  READCHANNEL. RETURNED_DATA = (RAW_DATA+P(i,1))*P(i,2)+(RAW_DATA+P(i,1))*P(i,3) ...
  There is one row of P for each entry of CHANNEL.

  DATASIZE is the sample size in bits.

  CHANNELTYPE must be a string. It is assumed that
  that CHANNELTYPE applies to every entry of CHANNEL.
