Here is a feature I wish KST had...

The user provides a time step value (delta t), either manually or read automatically from a specific line in the data file header.  The data wizard then creates a vector for the x-axis containing the time elapsed since the first data point.  The user should also be able to select the appropriate time units (ms, s, min, hrs etc).

This is currently achieved by using an equation to scale the INDEX vector to a time time vector.

It would also be nice if the plug-ins could work directly with the time value (rather than the INDEX).  For example when using the "shift" plug-in the user should be able to shift the data left and right using the same units as the data is displayed in.

Reproducible: Didn't try




Here is an example of an ASCII data file I would like to be able to import with automatic creation of a time based x-axis:

channel names:	
17/09/2009 11:28:19 AM - Thermocouple - Dev1_ai0	17/09/2009 11:28:19 AM - Thermocouple - Dev1_ai0
start times:	
17/09/2009 11:28:21.050125	17/09/2009 11:28:21.216787
dt:	
0.250000
