% Searches through the specified file for the first ZC sequence, and extracts the full bursts (in time) % % It's very important that the `frequency_offset` be correct such that when applied, the signal is centered at DC (0 Hz) % Otherwise the start sample estimate from correlating for the ZC sequence will be off in time as well as the % correlation score being lower % % Function does accept the following varargs inputs: % % - SampleType: MATLAB numeric type that the samples in the provided file are stored as (ex: 'single', 'int16', etc) % Defaults to 'single' % - CorrelationFigNum: Figure number to use for plotting the results of the cross correlation in find_zc_indices_by_file % Defaults to -1 which does not show the figure.
