tapas_physio_read_physlogfiles_siemens.m input variables

[reemTamimi]

Hello, I am trying to run the tapas_physio_read_physlogfiles_siemens.m script to read physio data from the scanner files (.resp, .puls). I am running it by first defining the variables in the command line. The function takes four arguments: log_files, cardiac_modality, verbose, and varargin. I first define log_files as a string of the file name. Then for cardiac modality, I define it as a string of 'PULS'. Then for verbose, I define it as a struct with the field .level equal to 2. I am not sure if I also have to identify the .fig_handles part. I am stuck on the varargin as I don't know what to define it as. Can you please tell me what the appropriate input variables should look like in the command line? Please let me know if you would like me to provide more information!

Dear @reemTamimi,

I would suggest you start from one of the example scripts and data that you can download as described here.

In your case, tapas_physio_example_siemens_vb_ppu3t_sync_first_matlab_script.m might be a good candidate. You can then open tapas_physio_read_physlogfiles_siemens and set a breakpoint at the start and run the example script. This way, you will see how the different input fields should be populated in this function, e.g., by looking at the workspace variables. There is also some documentation of the different fields either in the header of tapas_physio_read_physlogfiles_siemens itself or in tapas_physio_new if you just open it with Matlab/an editor of your choice.

I hope that helps!

All the best,
Lars
