f = save(s, filename, format, options) : save iData object into various data formats
@iData/save function to save data sets
This function saves the content of iData objects. The default format is 'm'.
save(iData,'formats')
prints a list of supported export formats.
save(s,'file.ext') determine file format from the extension
save(s,'file','format') set file format explicitly
save(s,'file','format clean') set file format explicitly and remove NaN and Inf.
save(s,'file','format data') save only the 'Data' part of the object.
save(s, get(s,'Source'), 'format') save with the same base filename(s)
To load back an object from a m-file, type its file name at the prompt.
To load back an object from a mat-file, type 'load filename.mat' at the prompt.
Type <a href="matlab:doc(iData,'Save')">doc(iData,'Save')</a> to access the iFit/Save Documentation.
input: s: object or array (iData)
filename: name of file to save to. Extension, if missing, is appended (char)
If the filename already exists, the file is overwritten.
If given as filename='gui', a file selector pops-up
If the filename is empty, the object Tag is used.
format: data format to use (char), or determined from file name extension
