Realtime datalog test from Raspberry Pi. Measure 10V from MM with bad A3 3458A

Download CSV file for full datalog details

Workflow:

* RPI accesses DMMs via GPIB and reads data.
* Data is formatted by python script into DSV string and written/append to file on FTP
* DSV-file is visible publicly on https://xdevs.com/datashort/10v_3458_nplc200_mm.csv
* Page http://xdevs.com/datalog_mm/ runs D3.js javascript library to read DSV file test.log to input data
* D3.js plots SVG graph online :)
