For creating a chart in Excel we need to import this file and here’s how we will do
that:

From the data menu we need to click “Get Data From Text” button and select the text
file. Here we will choose “Delimited” and click next, and in the second step, select the
comma as delimiter and then finish the wizard.

So this process will insert the time and the temperature values into separate
columns. Now we just need to select both columns and from the insert menu select
“Insert line chart”. This will create the chart where we can see the temperature values
each 3 seconds.
