datamethods: to_analog

[pantaray]

Not really a problem per se, more like a missing feature? Please elaborate We need a method to convert a DiscreteData object into an AnalogData object (e.g., to perform spectral analysis on spikes/saccades). Implement a new function in datatype/data_methods.py

to_analog(samplerate=..., peak_value=1, dtype=float32, filename=None)

where samplerate denotes the desired sample-rate of the constructed AnalogData object, peak_value means the "on"-value of events (e.g., construct a binary time-series of the form 00001000100) and filename can be optionally provided to circumvent creation of a tmp object and directly write to a user-defined location.
