### Function Synopsis

    [R,s] = sensor_axial(R1,baseline);

### Help Text

    SENSOR_AXIAL - Generate axial gradiometers
     function [R,s] = sensor_axial(R1,baseline);
     Given sensor sites in R1, generate
     axial point gradiometers in radial direction of R1 with baseline
     separations given in baseline.
     Each element of the vector baseline should give the total baseline
     distance from the R1 origin.

     For example, a BTi 37-channel first-order gradiometer pattern with a
     5 cm baseline would by simulated by
     R1 = sensor_ring(0.12,15*pi/180,4);  % generate sensor sites
     [R,s] = sensor_axial(R1,[0.05]);

     A second order gradiometer with a 4 cm baseline would be simulated by
     [R,s] = sensor_axial(R1,[0.04 0.08]);

     The first three columns of R and s will be the positions of the coils
       nearest the head.  The next three columns correspond to the second coil in
       each sensor.
