abfload imports data in the Axon abf format. Data may have been acquired in the following modes:

(1) event-driven variable-length
(2) event-driven fixed-length
(3) gap-free

The major output variable d may be a 2D array, a 3D array or a cell array, depending on the recording mode. Information about scaling, the time base (that is, the sampling frequency), and the number of channels and episodes is extracted from the header of the abf file. For details, see help text of abfload.
** PLEASE NOTE: abfload can only deal with abf versions <2 (files acquired with pclamp versions <10). Use abf2load (see below) for all abf versions including the new ones.
