Program Structure

Consists of several functions:

time_interval () : It creates the list of measurement points and sets
temp_now () : It will detects the time increment and take the
current measurements
output () :
Select the maximum and minimum temperature
calculate standard deviation and average temperature
Writes into sql database and log file
plot () : End of the program it will plot one time vs temperature
graph
All the sub-functions will be called in Main function to run the program
in a endless loop till the given period or manual termination.
