def average_time(*args, **kwargs):

    Return the (time) average of a scan or list of scans. [in channels only]
    The cursor of the output scan is set to 0
    Parameters:
        one scan or comma separated  scans
        mask:     an optional mask (only used for 'var' and 'tsys' weighting)
        scanav:   True averages each scan separately.
                  False (default) averages all scans together,
        weight:   Weighting scheme. 'none, 'var' (1/var(spec)

                  (integration time weighted) or 'tintsys' (Tsys 
                  and tint). The default is 'tint'

        # return a time averaged scan from scana and scanb
