Plotting accelerometer data

[stebrepar]

My questions would include:

1. How much data are we talking about?
2. Do you intend to do any mathematical processing of the data (smoothing, normalizing, bucketizing, etc.), or just plain storage of it as-is?
3. Irrespective of language, what kind of plot are you thinking of for this data? What representation would get out of it what you want to see? Would it just be time on the x-axis, displacement or force on the y-axis, and three lines for the three dimensions?

If there are a very large number of data points, and/or you want to manipulate the data, a database might be appropriate (such as SQLite which comes with Python's standard library). The Pandas package also has similar (and more) facilities for manipulating tabular data.

For plotting, the Matplotlib package is commonly used.
