#' Reads binary fid file.
#'
#' This function reads a binary fid file. A fid file contains intensities for
#' all measured time points.
#'
#'
#' @param fidFile \code{character} path to fid file e.g.
#'  Pankreas_HB_L_061019_A10/0_a19/1/1SLin/fid
#' @param nIntensities number of data entries
#'  (total count; get from acqu file)
#' @param endian endianness of the fid file
#'  (\sQuote{little} or \sQuote{big}; default: \sQuote{little})
#'
#' @return
#'  A vector of intensity values.
