Test failure with pandas 2.1.1

What happened?

Test 'test_sat_compressed_1' fails with this error:

>       assert_frame_equal(res[0:1], ref_1[res.columns])
E       AssertionError: Attributes of DataFrame.iloc[:, 6] (column name="data_datetime") are different
E
E       Attribute "dtype" are different
E       [left]:  datetime64[ns]
E       [right]: datetime64[s]

This test works with pandas 2.0.3, but fails with 2.1.1.
This looks like the reason: pandas-dev/pandas#52212

In our tests, we use various ways to create a reference pandas DataFrame. This particular test uses a way that used to generate an 'ns' datetime, but with the new pandas version it generates an 's' datetime. The solution is simply to specify 'ns' when creating the reference datetimes.
