I don't know if I understood this correctly. As I said, I changed the
polling frequency after a couple of months; I am sure this would skew
the results.

My first plots had one column for each sample. What I'm doing now
-precisely, in order to normalize the plot- is to "lump together" all
of the plots for a given day into the same column. Thus, the generated
plot respects and properly represents time (skipping a day here or
there, as there might be some glitches in my data acquisition), but
mostly in an uniform way.

(...or... Did I completely fail to understand you?)
