mexSLOAD(1)

📦 version 3.9.5, in debian bookworm, debian trixie, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble, ubuntu questing, ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

💖 mexSLOAD — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is mexSLOAD, a mex-function (from the General Commands Manual, section 1, if we're being formal ✨) whose whole entire job is loading biomedical signal data into Octave or Matlab. she's giving data-wrangler main character energy and honestly? we're obsessed. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's every way you can call her. read them all, don't skip, i will know 😭

 [s,HDR]=sload(f)
 [s,HDR]=sload(f,chan)
      chan must be sorted in ascending order
 [s,HDR]=sload(f,chan,"OVERFLOWDETECTION:ON")
 [s,HDR]=sload(f,chan,"OVERFLOWDETECTION:OFF")
 [s,HDR]=sload(f,chan,"UCAL:ON")
 [s,HDR]=sload(f,chan,"UCAL:OFF")

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

ngl the whole thing is just: you hand her a file, she hands you back the signal plus a header. that's it, that's the vibe. 💅

🎀 Input 🎀

  • f — the filename. literally just the file. give her the file. 🍓
  • chan — a list of selected channels. set it to 0 and you get all channels — that's the [default] btw. so if you can't decide, just don't. 💀
  • UCAL — when it's ON, she does not calibrate the data. the default is OFF, so normally she does. pick your fighter. ⭐
  • OVERFLOWDETECTION — default is ON. when it's ON, values that fall outside the dynamic range come back as not-a-number (NaN). no cap, they just become NaN. 🙈

🦋 Output 🦋

  • s — the signal data, and every column is one channel. one channel per column, periodt. 👑
  • HDR — the header structure. all the metadata lives in here. 💜
