Purpose of this function is to take a list with {TimeOfSample,Data} pairs and perform FFT to show spectral content.  It assumes the data is evenly spaced.

I know it's simple.  Any input welcome or extra features you think would be useful.

Input: {{TimeOfSample,Data},...} pairs
Output: {{Frequency, Energy},...};

mListFFT[InputList_]:=Module[{Xaxis,Yaxis,AveragePeriod},
AveragePeriod=Plus@@Table[InputList[[i+1,1]]-InputList[[i,1]],{i,1,Length[InputList]-1}]/(Length[InputList]-1);
Xaxis=1/AveragePeriod*Range[0,Floor@(Length[InputList]/2.)-1]/Length[InputList];
Yaxis=Abs[Fourier[InputList[[All,2]]]];
Yaxis=Yaxis[[1;;Floor@(Length[Yaxis]/2.)]];
Transpose[{Xaxis,Yaxis}]
]

I am considering looking at the averaging of the time between samples to detect sample time discontinuities by looking for a maximum deviation from max time difference to min time difference.

Any input welcome.
