+% SETSTARTT sets the 'startT' property of the timespan objects.
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+%
+% DESCRIPTION: SETSTARTT sets the 'startT' property of the timespan objects.
+%
+% CALL:        objs.setStartT(val);
+%              objs.setStartT(val1, val2);
+%              objs.setStartT(plist('startt', val));
+%              objs = objs.setStartT(val);
+%
+% INPUTS:      objs: Can be a vector, matrix, list, or a mix of them.
+%              val:  String or numeric values
+%                 1. Single string e.g. '14:00:00'
+%                      Each timespan object in objs get this value.
+%                 2. Single string in a cell-array e.g. {12345}
+%                      Each timespan object in objs get this value.
+%                 3. cell-array with the same number of strings as in objs
+%                    e.g. {'14:00:00', 123, '15:00:00'} and 3 timespan objects in objs
+%                      Each timespan objects in objs get its corresponding
+%                      value from the cell-array
