Waveform Database Software Package (WFDB) for MATLAB and Octave 0.10.0

function varargout=wfdbtime(varargin)
%
% [timeStamp,dateStamp]=wfdbtime(recordName,samples)
%
%    Wrapper to WFDB WFDBTIME:
%         http://www.physionet.org/physiotools/wag/wfdbti-1.htm
%
% Converts sample indices from recordName into timeStamp and dateStamps.
% Returns:
%
% timesStamp
%       Nx1 vector of cell Strings representing times stamps with respect to the
%       first sample in recordName.
%
% dateStamp
%       Nx1 vector of cell Strings representing date stamps with respect to the
%       first sample in recordName.
%
%
% Required Parameters:
%
% recorName
%       String specifying the name of the record in the WFDB path or
%       in the current directory.
%
% samples
%       Nx1 vector of integers (indices) of samples from the signal in recordName (indices are
%       relative to the first sample).
%
