--------------------------

Original Description:
The Cosmed FitMate software saves metabolic data in a text file. Use this function to import the data into MATLAB.

Contents:

1. sample data file VO2data14Feb.TXT
The text file contains time in HH:MM:SS format, followed by metabolic data in columns.

2. main program readFitmateShell.m calls the function, converts the time to minutes, and plots heart rate and oxygen consumption (VO2).

3. function readFitmate.m
The function imports data into a cell and parses the data. It converts the three time fields to a single time matrix in seconds.

MATLAB release MATLAB 7.12 (R2011a)

-------------------

Edited the function, so its able to work with xlsread.
Tested script on Matlab2015b/Mac, used .xlsx file extension.
