After many hours of debugging E+ code it turns out DView is the problem not E+. E+ generates the correct data but DView plots the maximum altitude at 10am instead of midday. Extract of E+ CSV file below - the maximum is clearly at 12:00:
07/19 10:00:00,48.04278892426238 07/19 11:00:00,59.72341312759839 07/19 12:00:00,67.54636375727424 07/19 13:00:00,67.32938849937168 07/19 14:00:00,59.23275071902709 07/19 15:00:00,47.449338102294898
So why does DView plot it at 10AM? Annoying.

After many hours of debugging E+ code it turns out DView is the problem not E+. E+ generates the correct data but DView plots the maximum altitude at 10am instead of midday. A huge 2 hour offset. Extract of E+ CSV file below - the maximum is clearly at 12:00:
07/19 10:00:00,48.04278892426238 11:00:00,59.72341312759839

Is there any Windows program similar to DView that works better? Eg open CSV direct into the program & have a graph displayed without lots of extra setting up?
