installation:

1. download the latest released h5parser.mltbx file
2. open MATLAB and drag the downloaded file to whereever your current folder is opened in MATLAB
3. double click on the toolbox
4. profit

usage:

parse('name_of_h5_file.h5')

OR

parse('name_of_h5_file.h5', true) for safer (but slower parsing) if there exists intermittent data throughout the file and not all data exists at all points in time
