Need Helping Visualizing Minutes a Machine was Running

Hi, 

 

I am trying to create a chart that visualizes when a machine was running. In the dataset, I have the start time and the duration. For example:

 

Start TimeDuration
8:00 AM15
1:00 PM45
4:00 PM30

 

The chart would need to show bars from 8:00 - 8:15, 1:00 - 1:45, and 4:00 - 4:30. The rest of the times in the day would just be white. I have downloaded the Gant 2.2.3 and am currenlty using it. However, it has some definite limitations for this use case. Does anyone know of a better solution or is this my best bet?

 

Example from my larger dataset:
