function [plotStart] = plotSetUp(tUnits,nTunits,dt)
% Usage: [plotStart] = plotSetUp(tUnits,nTunits,dt);
% Initializes data structure plotStart, which contains
%   parameters used to initialize time series plotting
%   window.   All input arguments are optional.
%   Edit the file to change defaults ... or to add new
%   optional inputs
% tUnits gives units for labeling the x-axis on the time
%   series plot.  Options are 'Seconds', 'Minutes', 'Hours', 'Days' 
% nTunits is number of tUnits of data to plot in one window
%   default is 6 'Hours'
% dt is assumed sampling interval for plotted time series
%   default is 1 ... only used (with tUnits, nTunits)
%   to calculate number of points to plot; should recompute
%   this number after reading data file (so that true sampling
%   interval is known) anyway!

%    always be set after reading the data file, and before intializing
