def date_range(cls,start_time,end_time,freq):
        '''
        Returns a new SArray that represents a fixed frequency datetime index.

        Parameters

        start_time : datetime.datetime
          Left bound for generating dates.

        end_time : datetime.datetime
          Right bound for generating dates.

        freq : datetime.timedelta
          Fixed frequency between two consecutive data points.
