You're using rather strange terms to explain what you're trying to do.
gnuplot doesn't "import" data files --- it's a command-driven program, 
and some of the commands are given the name of a data file that they 
will read and display immediately, according to the settings made 
before.  You really have to read the documentation to be able to work 
with gnuplot.

This should be easy enough to plot.

	set timefmt '%B %d %H:%M:%S %Y'
	set format x
	plot 'data' using 2:9

will plot the ttime as a function of starttime.  For more see 'help' 
about each of the commands used here.
