[time-nuts] Strange temperature peak

The spikes are due to an artifact in the way the Tbolt firmware reads the temperature sensor chip.  It reads two registers and combine the values to get a high-res temp reading.  But if the firmware accesses the registers in-between the time that the temp sensor chip updates them it can produce a bogus value.  Typically this seems to happen on average of once every couple of hours.  

Lady Heather flags each spike with a red line at the top of the plot window.  Other error events such as holdovers,  bad serial data, etc are flagged in the same way...
