Syntax

The name of the telescope in the bucket (signal/rhodes/stellenbosch) is the first part of the query. 

    <Name>:START:INTERVAL:END

I think it is actually better to specify UTC start and end times if possible and/or LST spans. This makes it easier to query based on desired source observation plans.

The major use will be to get something like the last hour of data, and this will make the scripting much more intuitive. 

signal:-120:1:-1

We intend to have and be specified initially as unix timestamps if they are positive. Adding ISOFORMAT dates with UTC specified can be addressed with a separate PR once this is done.
