    Hi i am new to canvasjs, my goal is to display temperature sensor real time data using canvas dynamic chart. Code from canvasjs is show below. It generated random number so how do i change following code so that it reads value from csv file?

    <!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>

<head>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	window.onload = function () {

		var dps = []; // dataPoints

		var chart = new CanvasJS.Chart("chartContainer",{
			title :{
				text: "Live Random Data"
			},			
			data: [{
				type: "line",
				dataPoints: dps 
			}]
		});

		var xVal = 0;
		var yVal = 100;	
		var updateInterval = 100;
		var dataLength = 500; // number of dataPoints visible at any point

		var updateChart = function (count) {
			count = count || 1;
			// count is number of times loop runs to generate random dataPoints.
			
			for (var j = 0; j < count; j++) {	
 				yVal = yVal +  Math.round(5 + Math.random() *(-5-5));
 				dps.push({
 					x: xVal,
 					y: yVal
 				});
 				xVal++;
 			};
 			if (dps.length > dataLength)
			{
				dps.shift();				
			}
			
			chart.render();		

		};

		// generates first set of dataPoints
		updateChart(dataLength); 

		// update chart after specified time. 
		setInterval(function(){updateChart()}, updateInterval); 

	}
	</script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.canvasjs.com/canvasjs.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
	<div id="chartContainer" style="height: 300px; width:100%;">
	</div>
</body>
</html>

    I got one code from canvasjs blog in that graph reads data from csv file and code is shown below.

    `<!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.js”></script&gt;
    <script type=”text/javascript”>

    $(document).ready(function () {

    $.ajax({
    type: “GET”,
    url: “data.csv”,
    dataType: “text”,
    success: function (data) { processData(data); }
    });

    function processData(allText) {
    var allLinesArray = allText.split(‘\n’);
    if (allLinesArray.length > 0) {
    var dataPoints = [];
    for (var i = 0; i <= allLinesArray.length – 1; i++) {
    var rowData = allLinesArray[i].split(‘,’);
    if(rowData && rowData.length > 1)
    dataPoints.push({ label: rowData[0], y: parseInt(rowData[1]) });
    }
    chart.options.data[0].dataPoints = dataPoints;
    chart.render();
    }
    }

    var chart = new CanvasJS.Chart(“chartContainer”, {
    theme: “theme1”,
    title: {
    text: “Welcome to World of IOT”
    },
    data: [
    {
    type: “line”,
    dataPoints: []
    }
    ]
    });

    });
    </script>
    <script type=”text/javascript” src=”canvasjs.min.js”></script>
    </head>
    <body>
    <div id=”chartContainer” style=”height: 500px; width: 80%;”></div>
    </body>
    </html>
    How can i modify above two code and achieve reading data from csv and do dynamic plotting.?
