# load_fif_asc

## (Toolbox/load_fif_asc.m in BrainStorm 2.0 (Alpha))

### Function Synopsis

    [Lat,Data,Label,LabelNum] = load_fif_asc(fname,verbose);

### Help Text

    LOAD_FIF_ASC - Load data from Neuromag 122 .fif file converted to ascii
    function [Lat,Data,Label,LabelNum] = load_fif_asc(fname,verbose);
     Open and read the fiff2ascii converted file FNAME, where we assume that
     the time values are included (fiff2ascii -t).
     Returns the latencies in Lat, the m by length(Lat) matrix of data Data.
     The Label is string the labels found per row in Data, such as MEG, EEG, STI,
     and the LabelNum is the integer associated with the Label.
