3.2 mcs_Info.m: Summary of Functionality
mcs_Info is a function to show information about the streams that are in a certain file given
as stream, type, n, TimeSpan and infotext.
The output contains the stream name as a eight digits sequence, the type of entity, n is the
number of channels per stream, TimeSpan gives you information about the duration of data
collection and infotext contains optional information about the data type.
mcs_Info uses ns_GetFileInfo to receive the information EntityCount saved in FileInfo.
EntityCount is necessary to call the next function ns_GetEntityInfo and to get EntityLabel
and EntityType as a part of entity. EntityLabel includes some information about the stream
that is connected to EntityType in a structure entities.
The function returns a table with information if the number of output arguments is 0.
Otherwise the information is given as a matrix. That might be helpful if you like to work
on with the given values.
Usage:
[varargout] = mcs_Info(hFile, varargin)
Description:
Generates information about entities. This information is returned in a structured output
via CommandWindow (matrix or table).
Parameters:
hFile Handle/Identification number to an open file.
Varargin Variable length input argument list,"variable argument in".
Return Values:
- without return value: information is shown on the display as a table.
- with return value: cell matrix of this information.
