readUtrack(folder, ab.track = F, cores = 1, frameRecord = T)

.readUtrack(file, interact = F, ab.track = F, frameRecord = F)

`file`	Full path to Utrack file.
`interact`	Open menu to interactively choose file.
`ab.track`	Use absolute coordinates for tracks.
`frameRecord`	Add a fourth column to the track list after the xyz-coordinates for the frame that coordinate point was found (almost mandatory for Utrack).
`folder`	Full path to Utrack files output folder.
`cores`	Number of cores used for parallel computation. This can be the cores on a workstation, or on a cluster. Tip: each core will be assigned to read in a file when paralleled.

The naming scheme for each track is as follows:

[Last five characters of the file name].[Start frame #].[Length].[Track #]

(Note: The last five characters of the file name, excluding the extension, cannot contain ".")

#Basic function call of .readUtrack
#trackll <- readUtrack(folder = /FILEPATH/, cores = 2)

#Basic function call of .readUtrack
#trackl <- .readUtrack(interact = TRUE)
