Message:

New Development: No

JIRA Issue: No

Ready for Test: Yes

Interface Changes: Yes

What Interface Changed: changed default value of prec=-1 in scantable.get_time

Test Programs:

Put in Release Notes: No

Module(s):

Description:

Chenged the default value of parameter prec=-1 in scantable.get_time.
When prec=-1, necessary time precision is automatically calculated based on
minimum integration time in the scantable.
