function N = counterval(name)% COUNTERVAL - get current value of counter without increment%  %   N = COUNTERVAL(NAME) reads the current value of a counter with name%   NAME without altering its state.%%   N = COUNTERVAL reads the current value of the default counter%   'gccounter' and returns the value.%%   The counter state is stored in the matlab preference%   counter_utility_data.%%   Example: %       counterinit('MyCounter');%       CurrentValue = counterval('MyCounter') %   initializes and reads the value of the counter 'MyCounter');%%   See also: COUNTERVAL, COUNTERINIT, COUNTERSET, COUNTEREXIST,%   COUNTERLIST and COUNTERDELETE %% AUTHOR    : J鴊er Hanseg錼d %% $DATE     : 05-Apr-2005 15:06:43 $ %% $Revision: 1.00 $ %% DEVELOPED : 7.0.1.24704 (R14) Service Pack 1 %% FILENAME  : counterval.m if nargin == 0    name = 'gccounter';endif ~counterexists(name)    error('Could not read value of a non-existent counter');endcounter = getpref('counter_utility_data', name);N = counter.val;% Created with NEWFCN.m by J鴊er Hanseg錼d  % Contact...: jogerh@ifi.uio.no  % $Log$ % ===== EOF ====== [counterval.m] ======
