Hello!  
I am using the chart dashboard node to visualize my experiment workflow. The timeseries plots of the scalars work fine. However, when I tried to plot the Raman Spectroscopy data according to [plotting non-timeseries data](https://github.com/node-red/node-red-dashboard/blob/master/Charts.md), the x-labels are still being formatted into date time.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/d/1/d11c0a6e675ca51cdddec5ec2b589df0bb6240ca.png)

I went through the source code, [this function](https://github.com/node-red/node-red-dashboard/blob/9cd4aa994cf384485e006d279d703d1475c63a8e/src/components/ui-chart-js/ui-chart-js.js#L229) will always convert the x label into time.

I tried to also supply the `options` in the payload but no effect.

How should i override the tooltips options?

Regards

Did you try setting the X-Axis label format to X (epoch in seconds) which then assuming you are using integers to pass in should just get passed through as-is
