AddTimeSeriesLog.cpp

/*WIKI*
Creates/updates a time-series log entry on a chosen workspace. The given timestamp & value are appended to the
named log entry. If the named entry does not exist then a new log is created. A time stamp must be given in
ISO8601 format, e.g. 2010-09-14T04:20:12.

By default, the given value is interpreted as a double and a double series is either created or expected. However,
if the "Type" is set to "int" then the value is interpreted as an integer and an integer is either created
or expected.
