% LoadMat  Load variables from .mat file specified by fileFullPath.  It 
% calls 'load' command and uses default MAT-file version.
%
% fileFullPath is the absolute path to the .mat file
%
% The values output is cell array of data that have been loaded from the 
% .mat file and then escaped for COM.  The names output is cell array of 
% names of those variables.  The remaining output is cell array of names of 
% the remaining variables that are unable to import to LabVIEW, because the
% data types are not supported.  Having remaining variables is considered 
% partial success, not error.  All are row vectors. 
%
% The errorInfo output returns an error if the script produced an error 
% or an empty cell array if there were no errors.  The errorInfo cell array
% contains 2 char vectors.  The first is the error message.  The second 
% cell is the error message ID string.  When error occurs, values, names 
% and remaining outputs are empty.  The elapsed is a numeric array 
% containing performance metrics.
