stuart,

In your csv file you have dateTime values which you are assigning to label property. Instead you should be assign dateTime values to x-value which can be done as shown below :

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
    <title>Test</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {

            var dataPoints1 = [];
            var dataPoints2 = [];

            $.ajax({
                type: "GET",
                url: "http://www.cuedup.biz/vgraphing/demoui/BT01.csv",
                dataType: "text",
                success: function (data) { processData1(data); }
            });

            function processData1(allText) {
                var allLinesArray = allText.split('\n');
                if (allLinesArray.length > 0) {
                    for (var i = 0; i <= allLinesArray.length - 2; i++) {
                        var rowData = allLinesArray[i].split(',');

                        var labelData = rowData[0].split(":");
