Affects: graphs of trace spike count or latency vs step cycle

For each frame in a trace spike count or latency graph, the selected trace is searched for spikes. The spike measurement is controlled by the "Trace spike threshold", "Trace spike hysteresis", and "Trace spike discr.". Any spike that crosses the threshold, does not exceed the discriminator level, and falls below the hysteresis, is included in the graph.

The hysteresis is actually a displacement from the threshold, and will usually be negative (below the threshold), for detection of positive going spikes. If it is positive (above the threshold), the program will search for negative going spikes, which fall below the threshold, but not below the discriminator, then rise up above the hysteresis level.
