[SciPy-User] TimeSeries and Milliseconds for aircraft data

[Ariel Rokem]

Hi Gokhan - easy - we are not dealing with the measurement part at all, only
with the analysis of data that has already been measured, so if you don't
think a pico-second representation is appropriate for your data (and it
probably is appropriate for very few kinds of data...), then use the right
temporal resolution for your data.

Best - Ariel
