vb_event_start

PURPOSE ^

Find time points that event signal changes to the specified value 'status'

SYNOPSIS ^

function ix = vb_event_start(y,status,t_stay)

DESCRIPTION ^

 Find time points that event signal changes to the specified value 'status'
     ix = vb_event_start(y,status)
     ix = vb_event_start(y,status,t_stay)
 y : event signal
 status : status value
 t_stay : minimum length to stay the specified value [default = 10]
          'y' should be stay at the value 'status' for more than t_stay
 
 ix : index corresponding to the start point 
      'y' changes to 'status' from other value
