function splitNSx(splitCount)

% splitNSx
% 
% Opens and splits an NSx file in smaller pieces, timewise.
%
% Use splitNSx(splitCount)
% 
% All input arguments are optional. Input arguments can be in any order.
%
%   splitCount:   Defines the number of splits.
%                 DEFAULT: Splits the file in 2 pieces.
%
%   Example 1: 
%   splitNSx(4);
%
%   In the example above, the user will be prompted to select a file. The
%   loaded file will be split in 4 samller files. For example, if the file
%   is 1 hour long then it will be split into four 15-minute files.
