[FieldTrip] MEG BTI reading problems

[jan-mathijs schoffelen]

Dear Sascha,

I am forwarding this e-mail to the list because many brains know more than one... I do not exactly recall whether this problem was solved in the end.
The error you get seems a pretty low level one, but I am not sure whether this is caused by the operating system, or by an old version of MATLAB. What version of matlab are you using? Apparently, your version of fseek (which is a built-in matlab function) does not support int32 as input class. I have never encountered this problem, nor on Linux, MacOS or Windows.
You could try to do the following: change fseek(fid, nbytes2, ... into fseek(fid, double(nbytes2), ...)?
If this works we know where to find the solution to the problem.

With best wishes,

Jan-Mathijs
