[Kst] X-axis time scale to match sample rate

[Andrew Walker]

Hi Ben,

There is no simple way but the following works well.
The basic idea is to create a equation that scales the INDEX vector by the 
desired sample rate and then plots the y-vector against this.

* Read in the data as usual
* Create a new equation: Data...New Equation...
* In the "New equation" dialog enter the following in the "Equation" field:
[INDEX]*<scale>
where <scale> is the desired sample rate (e.g. [INDEX]*5.0)
* Select "Do not place in any plot" and hit "OK"
* Create a new curve: Data... New Curve...
* For the "X axis vector" select the output of the new equation: 
"INDEX*<scale>/sv" (note that it is /sv and NOT /xsv)
For the "Y axis vector" select your usual y-axis vector
* Click "OK"

This should produce the desired result.

Andrew
