function [N,C]=check_consistency(data1,data2,sp)
% Helper routine to check consistency of data dimensions
% Usage: [N,C]=check_consistency(data1,data2,sp)
% Inputs:
% data1 - first dataset
% data2 - second dataset
% sp - optional argument to be input as 1 when one of the two data sets is
% spikes times stored as a 1d array.
% Outputs:
% Dimensions of the datasets - data1 or data2 (note that 
%    routine stops with an error message if dimensions don't match - [N,C]
%    N left empty for structure arrays
