Compressed pixel data plotted in units of cts/cs/keV with plot_timeseries() #129

Compressed pixel data is currently plotted in units of cts/cs/keV using the plot_timeseries() method, whereas quicklook data is in units of cts/s/keV. It might be more straightforward to have them in the same units or to have the option to plot in different units (e.g. cts/s/keV) using a kwarg. Is there a particular reason for plotting in cts/cs/keV currently?

Thanks for raising the issue essentially cs is the native time unit in the file and currently don't do any conversion. It should be pretty straightforward to use .to(u.s) somewhere to change back to seconds.
