I suspect that's your problem right there.  Without the time stamps in 
the data, where are the x coordinates you want to limit the range to 
supposed to come from?

That would be case, as-is, your data file does not actually hold any 
data inside the ranges you specified.

If you take a good hard look at that, you may notice that the x axis is 
from timestamps 01:06:00 to about 01:07:18, on some unknown day.  That 
doesn't overlap with the range you pass to gnuplot:

> gnuplot -e "scanstart='160228082733'" -e "scanend='160228082833'"
[...]
> rangeonx = '["'.scanstart.'":"'.scanend.'"]'
[...]

There are no data around 08:28 h in that file.

There is nothing in that plot script that would move the actual 
(implicit) data range of [0:7999] into the realm of time stamps you 
specify as your xrange.

Binary data in %float format wouldn't be able to hold the kind of 
resolution you're attempting, anyway: you're specifying a range of 60 
seconds, 16 years away from gnuplot's epoch of 2000-01-01.

	60 seconds / 16 years

only about twice as large as FLT_EPS, i.e. there are only three 
different single-precision %float numbers in that entire x range.
