Import 'Raven' batch correlator output

imp_corr_mat imports the output of 'Raven' batch correlator.

Usage

imp_corr_mat(file, path = NULL)

Arguments

file

A character string with the name of the output '.txt' file generated by Raven.

path

A character string indicating the path of the directory in which to look for the text files. If not provided (default) the function searches into the current working directory.

Value

A list with 2 matrices. The first one contains the correlation coefficients and the second one the time lags of the peak correlations.

Details

The function imports the output of a batch correlation routine in Raven. Both the correlation and lag matrices contained in the output ' .txt' file are read and both waveform and spectrogram (cross-correlation) correlations can be imported.
