Read binary LeCroy WaveJet waveforms

readLeCroyWaveJetWfm( varargin )
function [ varargout ] = readLeCroyWaveJetWfm( varargin )
%readLeCroyWaveJetWfm - Read binary waveform (.wfm) files as saved by
% LeCroy WaveJet oscilloscopes.
%
% readLeCroyWaveJetWfm( filename )
%
%   Loads the specified file, shows some information about the file,
%   and displays the waveform(s).
%
% [ data ] = readLeCroyWaveJetWfm( filename )
% [ data nfo ] = readLeCroyWaveJetWfm( filename )
%
%   Load the specified file and returns its data.
%   data - Array with loaded waveform(s). If only one channel was recorded
%          this is a single column with the waveform. If more than one
%          channel was recorded this is a 2D array where each column
%          corresponds with a channel. If a lower number channel is not
%          recorded it will contain a column with NaN's. If a higher number
%          channel is not recorded, it's column is removed from the data
%          array. E.g. ch1: x, ch2: 0, ch3: x, ch4: 0 will result in a 2D
%          array with 3 column, where the second column contains NaN's.
%   nfo - structure with time axis information and text header
%         nfo.x0    - time of first sample (trigger will be at t = 0)
%         nfo.dx    - sampling time, i.e. time between two consecutive samples
%         nfo.notes - text field with complete oscilloscope setup.

% Changelog:
% v0.1 (2008-06-29)
%   - initial release
%
% v0.2 (2008-08-??)
%   - in averaging mode the binary WFM waveform seems to have a half a
%     sample offset compared to the ASCII CSV file. The binary waveform is
%     now shifted half sample downwards.
%   - if averaging mode is turned on the data of inactive channels was
%     skipped incorrectly. This has been fixed.
%
% v0.3 (2010-03-02)
%   - made function compatible with GNU Octave.
%   - fixed waveforms with multiple waveform modes, e.g. when averaging and
%     equivalent sampling are specified at the same time.
