unit test for timeSeries.readUnrTxyz2() #3

I don't have a good sense of what good unit tests look like. As you recommended, it might be a good first task for you to write a unit test for timeSeries.readUnrTxyz2(). It will help you get started working on something in the project and it will help me see what a good unit test for that function looks like.

Please write the test as a stand-alone program named readUnrTxyz2_test.py and put it in: TSTools/Test/timeSeries/

I forgot to mention above that Python has a library for writing and running unit tests called pytest: https://pytest.org

The library comes standard with Anaconda 3. I was thinking we could use this for all of our unit tests. I wrote a unit test for xyz_to_llh in our transformation library: TSTools/Lib/transform.py that you can look at if you want an example. Not sure if it is a good unit test but it's an implementation of pytest.
