`btm`

`btm {{[-b|--basic]}}`

- Use big dots instead of small ones in charts:

`btm {{[-m|--dot_marker]}}`

- Show also battery charge and health status:

`btm --battery`

- Refresh every 250 milliseconds and show the last 30 seconds in the charts:

`btm {{[-r|--rate]}} 250 {{[-t|--default_time_value]}} 30000`
