Seconds, yes. Sorry I figured that was obvious, I'll add it to the graphs I generate next week.

Thank you! Was about to ask for axis labels as well. I assumed seconds but I had some doubts because there were no labels!

Good to hear.

Seconds was my best guess .. but that doesn't make it certain for the viewer.

No real drama, but FWiW I've looked at a lot of data across engineering, math, geophysics, mining, energy, etc and unlabeled data and graphs are a major annoyance.

If you're taking requests, then can the Y axis start at zero, please?

And what is going on with that Y axis? There is no consistent spacing between the marks!

It's a bit hard for a log axis to start at zero.

Well start it at 0.00001 then. There's no need for a log axis, as all the values are within 2 orders of magnitude of each other - between 1 and 100. They will fit better, and will no longer be distorted, on a linear Y axis starting from zero.

I wouldn't bother. It is super obvious.
