[FEATURE] Add timestamp detection to the raw data X options #7

Closed udupa-varun closed 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Right now the default X axis variable is "Index". If timestamp variables exist, they should be selected instead.

What would adding this feature accomplish? The default selection would be more informative.

Is the lack of this feature currently blocking your work? No

Describe the solution you'd like The X variable selection should go through a few rules that check for common patterns that timestamp variable labels satisfy. E.g. DAQ timestamps have the TS (some data channel), and some processed signals have labels such that include strings like "Time", "Timestamp" etc.

Describe alternatives you've considered Seems simple enough, so no.
