Plotting data from a logic analyzer - CSV and LibreOffice Calc

Sometimes it is useful to visualize data from a logic analyzer in a graphical way but unfortunately not many applications can do that so I came up with a solution involving CSV data and LibreOffice Calc. Here I am using Logic from Saleae but any software that can export the data to a CSV file can work.

Usage

First thing to do is to export the data from the logic analyzer software to a CSV file format. In Logic 2 this can be easily achieved by going to File -> Export Data or by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + S.
