%   This function calculates the time difference between the end of the
%   first NSx file and the beginning of the second NSx file.
%
%   NSx1:       The first NSx file passed to the function. This input is 
%               optional. In its absense, a dialog will open and will 
%               prompt the user to select an NSx file.
%               (OPTIONAL)
%
%   NSx2:       The second NSx file passed to the function. This input is 
%               also optional. In its absense, a dialog will open and will
%               prompt the user to select an NSx file.
