function [sens] = ft_appendsens(cfg, varargin)

% FT_APPENDSENS concatenates multiple sensor definitions that have been processed
% separately.
%
% Use as
%   combined = ft_appendsens(cfg, sens1, sens2, ...)
%
% A call to FT_APPENDSENS results in the label, pos and ori fields to be
% concatenated, and the tra matrix to be merged. Any duplicates will be removed.
% The labelold and chanposold fields are kept under the condition that they
% are identical across the inputs.
%
% See also FT_ELECTRODEPLACEMENT, FT_ELECTRODEREALIGN, FT_DATAYPE_SENS,
% FT_APPENDDATA, FT_APPENDTIMELOCK, FT_APPENDFREQ, FT_APPENDSOURCE
