$ tmon
Usage: tmon [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  tmon - Temperature Mointor Utitlity for capturing data from 3 LM35
  Temperature sensors through Arduino.

Options:
  --help  Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  run   collect the serial data from Arduino
  view  view previously collected data FILE - specify the .csv file
        location...

# change the required number of trials in the timon.ino and dump the file into the development board 
$ head tmon-cli/arduino/tmon/tmon.ino 

int i = 0;
int trials = 100;

// connect sensor 1 to Analog pin A1
int sensor1= A1;
// connect sensor 2 to Analog pin A2
int sensor2= A2;
// connect sensor 3 to Analog pin A3
int sensor3= A3;
