readDAQ.m

function [hdr, RFframe] = readDAQ(path, chanls, frameN, reRoute)
% Read the specified channel data from .daq files
% Usage:
% [hdr, RFframe] = readRFframe(path, filename, frameInd);
%       path:       strings showin the path to the data folder
%       chanls:     chanels of interest
%       frameInd:   index of frame of interest
%       reRoute:    true: transducer element, false: DAQ element
% Example:
%       Reading single frame
%       [header, RFframe] = readRFframe('c:\foldername\', ones(1,128), 2, true);
%       will return the second frame as a 2D matrix in RFframe
% Example:
%       use inside a for loop in order to read several frames
%       for i:1:10
%           [header, RFframe(i,:,:)] = readRFframe('c:\foldername\', ones(1,128), i, true);
%       end;
