Scicos Block

READC_f - Scicos "read from C binary file" block

### Description

This block allows user to read datas in a C file. `Output record selection` and `Time record Selection` allows the user to select data among file records.

Each call to the block advance one record in the file.

### DIALOGUE PARAMETERS

- Time record Selection : an empty matrix or a positive integer. If an integer `i` is given the `i`th element of the read record is assumed to be the date of the output event. If empty no output event exists.
- Output record selection : a vector of positive integer. `[k1,..,kn]`,The `ki`th element of the read record gives the value of `i`th output.
- Input file name : a character string defining the path of the file
- Input Format : a character string defining the format to use
- "l","s","ul","us","d","f","c","uc" : for reading respectively long, ashort, unsigned long, unsigned short, double, float, char and unsigned char. If required by the `swap mode`, the bytes which are read are automatically swapped if necessary (by checking little-endian status) in order to produce machine independent binary files ( in little-endian mode).
- "ull","uls","ubl","ubs", : can be used for reading respectively unsigned little-endian long or short and unsigned big-endian long or short.
- "dx","fx","lx","sx" : with `x=b` or `x=l` can be used for reading double, float, long or short as big or little endian.
- Record size : The file is supposed to be formed by a sequence of data with same format. these data are organized in a sequence of record each of them containing `Record size` data.
- Buffer size : To improve efficiency it is possible to buffer the input data. read on the file is only done after each `Buffer size` call to the block.
- Initial record index : a scalar. This fixes the first record of the file to use.
- Swap mode : With `Swap mode=1` the file is supposed to be coded in "little endian IEEE format" and data are swaped if necessary to match the IEEE format of the processor. If `Swap mode=0` then automatic bytes swap is disabled.
