% calls to the server to return current multiclamp commander meter values
% return a character array...  the values we want are space-delimited
% values in the last line:
out = [];
recording=0;
[zzz r] =strtok(inputstring,' ');
while ~isempty(r)
[zzz r] =strtok(r,' ');
if strcmp(zzz , 'values:')

% CRITICAL:

% the first value is sometimes resistance and sometimes voltage.  since the
% voltages and currents are small (always less than 10 V) and the
% resistances are large (always greater than 100Ohms), we can adaptively
% correct when the user has clicked or unclicked the 'Resistance' mode 


if out(1)<100
    out(1) = out(1)/out(2);
