% Known encoding formats are the following FDSN codes:
% 0: ASCII
% 1: 16-bit integer
% 2: 24-bit integer (untested)
% 3: 32-bit integer
% 4: IEEE float32
% 5: IEEE float64
% 10: Steim-1
% 11: Steim-2
% 12: GEOSCOPE 24-bit (untested)
% 13: GEOSCOPE 16/3-bit gain ranged
% 14: GEOSCOPE 16/4-bit gain ranged (untested)
% 19: Steim-3 (alpha and untested)

% History:
% [2012-04-21]
% - Correct bug with Steim + little-endian coding
% (thanks to Shahid Ullah)
% [2012-03-21]
% - Adds IDs for warning messages
% [2011-11-10]
% - Correct bug with multiple channel name length (thanks to
% Jonathan Berger)
% [2011-10-27]
% - Add LocationIdentifier to X.ChannelFullName
% [2011-10-24]
% - Validation of IEEE double encoding (with PQL)

% [2011-07-21]
% - Validation of ASCII encoding format (logs)
% - Blockettes are now stored in substructures below a single
% field X.BLOCKETTES
% - Add import of blockettes 500 and 2000
% - Accept multi-channel files with various data coding
% [2010-10-16]
% - Alpha-version of Steim-3 decoding...
% - Extend output parameters with channel detection
% - Add gaps and overlaps on plots
% - Add possibility to force the plot
% [2010-10-02]
% - Add the input formats for GEOSCOPE multiplexed old data files
% - Additional output argument with gap and overlap analysis
% - C
