%'civ_series': PIV function activated by the general GUI series
% --- call the sub-functions:
%   civ: PIV function itself
%   detect_false: put a flag to false vectors after detection by various criteria
%   filter_tps: make interpolation-smoothing
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
% function [Data,errormsg,result_conv]= civ_series(Param)
%
%OUTPUT
% Data=structure containing the PIV results and information on the processing parameters
% errormsg=error message char string, decd ..fault=''
% resul_conv: image inter-correlation function for the last grid point (used for tests)
%
%INPUT:
% Param: Matlab structure of input  parameters
%     Param contains info of the GUI series using the fct read_GUI.
%     Param.Action.RUN = 0 (to set the status of the GUI series) or =1 to RUN the computation
%     Param.InputTable: sets the input file(s)
%           if absent, the fct looks for input data in Param.ActionInput     (test mode)
%     Param.OutputSubDir: sets the folder name of output file(s,
%           if absent no file is produced, result in the output structure Data (test mode)
%     Param.ActionInput: substructure with the parameters provided by the GUI civ_input
%                      .Civ1: parameters for civ1cc
%                      .Fix1: parameters for detect_false1
%                      .Patch1:
%                      .Civ2: for civ2
%                      .Fix2:
