It is really important to know the activity of the cochleae in terms of number of AER events fired per second in a particular time period. This tool provides this functionality, generating a 2-axis chart that can be seen in the image below, where the X axis represents time (timestamp, µs) and the Y axis is the number of megaevents (10^6 events) fired per second. The user can also save the image as a PNG file.

The pseudocode of this functionality is shown in the image below.
