There is also a old program for automating 7 the reading, filtering, processing, interpolation 6 and plot n-dimensional values from different 5 sources (like libreOffice- or csv-files) and 4 variable size: diaGrabber.

You have to use some simple 3 python-commands to create a case. After 2 this you can manipulate the graphical output 1 in an interactive GUI.
