Useful information can be extracted from the data using only the run number

head and mhead

head() returns the header information for the raw file defined by the run_number, or the path to a defined raw file. A combined set of runs can also be defined, the data are combined together with limited practical use

>>  head(run_number)
>>  head(path_to_raw_file)
  • run_number can be defined in the following ways
  1. a numerical array of numbers [12345 45673 34436] or a single numeric
  2. an array of strings char('12345' '45673' '34436') or a single string
  3. a cell array of strings {'12345' '45673' '34436'}
  4. a cell array of numerics {12345 45673 34436}
  • path_to_raw_file is defined as a string or a cell array of strings 'C:\data\myfile.raw'

mhead() returns the header information for each raw file defined by an array of run numbers, or an array of paths to a raw file.

>>  mhead(run_numbers)
>>  mhead(paths_to_raw_files)
  • run_numbers can be defined in the following ways
  1. a numerical array of numbers [12345 45673 34436]
  2. an array of strings char('12345' '45673' '34436')
  3. a cell array of strings {'12345' '45673' '34436'}
  4. a cell array of numerics {12345 45673 34436}
  • paths_to_raw_files is defined as a cell or string array 'C:\data\myfile.raw'
