function codeKeeper = syncPatternFinderNSx(filenameNSx)

% syncPatternFinderNSx
% 
% Canculated the unique 8-bit code and the associated timestamp of the SYNC
% pulse of the NSP. 
%
% Use codeKeeper = syncPatternFinderNSx(filenameNSx)
% 
% All input arguments are optional. Input arguments can be in any order.
%
%   filenameNSx:  Name of the file to be opened. If the fname is omitted
%                 the user will be prompted to select a file. 
%                 DEFAULT: Will open Open File UI.
%
%
%   OUTPUT:       The structure that contains all the unique 8-bit SYNC
%                 pulse codes and their corresponding timestamps.
%
%   Example 1: 
%   codeKeeper = syncPatternFinderNSx('myTestNS5.ns5');
%
%   In the example above, the file myTestNS5.ns5 will be opened and all the
%   SYNC pulses and their corresponding timestamps will be output in the
%   codeKeeper structure.
