In previous chapters, you explored how to store engineering sensor data efficiently using Python lists and how to create basic plots to visualize that data. These skills are essential for engineers who need to monitor, analyze, and present sensor readings from equipment or processes. By combining structured data storage with clear visualizations, you can quickly spot patterns, trends, and anomalies in your measurements. This chapter challenges you to apply these concepts to a real-world scenario: visualizing a day's worth of temperature sensor data from a factory.
