Answer 1

Looking at the data file, you should use the built in python date-time objects. followed by strftime to format your dates.

Broadly you can modify the code below to however many date-times you would like First create a starting date.

Today= datetime.datetime.today()

Replace 100 with whatever number of time intervals you want.

date_list = [Today + datetime.timedelta(minutes=15*x) for x in range(0, 100)]

Finally, format the list in the way that you would like, using code like that below.

datetext=[x.strftime('%Y-%m-%d T%H:%M Z') for x in date_list]
