`readCMRRPhysio.m` parses the *.log files : no option to skip this part

[benoitberanger]

Hello,

With this commit 8483cce, extractCMRRPhysio.m have been removed, replaced by readCMRRPhysio.m. However, readCMRRPhysio.m has no option to just write the *.log files and stop. It is always parsing *.log, taking a lot unnecessary time.

At the moment, the best option to simply convert the dicom to log files is to use old function extractCMRRPhysio.m.

Is it possible to add on option skip the parsing ?

Thanks a lot, Benoît

Ok, I just made an update: if you write the .log files but do not select the option to plot the traces nor specify a return argument to store the traces in a struct, it will now stop after writing the log files. Also now the second argument to plot the traces is optional.

For example:

• readCMRRPhysio('input.dcm', '/path/to/output') this special case will only save .log files
• physio = readCMRRPhysio('input.dcm', '/path/to/output') will save .log files, parse the traces, and return the traces in physio struct
• readCMRRPhysio('input.dcm', 1, '/path/to/output') will save .log files, parse the traces, and plot the traces

Thank you ! This is very convenient now.

Best, Benoît
