READELP Read electrode locations from an .elp (electrode positions) file as generated, for example, by a Polhemus tracking device

Usage: >> [eloc, elocnames, X, Y, Z] = readelp(filename);

Inputs:
filename   
name of the .elp file containing cartesian (XYZ) electrode locations

Outputs:
eloc   
structure containing the names and locations of the channels
elocnames   
cell array containing the names of the electrodes
X,Y,Z   
vectors containing the xyz locations of the electrodes

Note: ignores comments and the sensor type field

Note: convert output XYZ locations to polar coordinates using cart2pol()
