I am trying to figure out how to format the x axis of my plot using date and time. I have sensor measurement readings that are recorded every few minutes over multiple days.
My data file looks like this excerpt:
11/19/2021 11:36:01,717.9,70.2,33.4
11/19/2021 11:42:01,701.5,70.8,33.6
11/19/2021 11:48:01,692.5,71.2,32.7
11/19/2021 11:54:01,695.4,71.3,32.0
11/19/2021 12:00:01,699.8,71.4,31.5
11/19/2021 12:06:01,698.9,71.7,31.1
11/19/2021 12:12:01,697.3,71.9,30.7
11/19/2021 12:18:01,711.6,72.1,30.5
11/19/2021 12:24:01,765.9,72.3,30.3
11/19/2021 12:30:01,747.0,73.7,29.0
.
.
.
My gnuplot settings are currently like this:
set datafile separator comma
set title "CO2 Measurements" font ",20"
set xdata time
set timefmt "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S"
set y2range [32:100]
set autoscale y
#set autoscale y2
set format x "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M"
set ylabel "CO2, PPM"
set y2label "Temperature, Degrees F"
set grid
set border
set style data lines
plot 'CO2logfile-25Nov21.csv' using 0:2, '' using 0:3, '' using 0:4
It looks like plot does not ready the time correctly from my data file. It seems to only be reading the seconds. I'd like the x axis to indicate the date and time for measurements from the data file.
Any suggestions appreciated! Randy
