If you're using vscode you have to put in the entire path to it. I found out that they are working on a fix for that.

You can also use the file output I uploaded. Each row is a list or just make up data.

All of the data input works great. Just wanted the major xticks to show %H%M vise the date and to have minor ticks every 10 or 15 min.

There's a statement that I usually include in all of my code that assures I know where my starting directory is localed:

os.chdir(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)))

I thought that I had added that, but didn't so IT's loading the file in, but still not happy, now getting

Error:

pandas.errors.ParserError: Too many columns specified: expected 5 and found 1

Which I'm sure I can figure out, I just need to get a time slot to do that. Should be a simple fix

I have 32 Gig of memory, so don't know why It shows low_memory

Thank you for the tip. I will start putting that in all my scripts.
