<p>Hmmm...</p>
<p>This sounds like Windows race condition.</p>
<p>Alas, I only use Linux, so have no idea how to fix this. :-( I
do know that people have successfully used kst real time in
windows though.</p>
<p>Does anyone else on the list have any suggestions?</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hello Kst experts,
<div>Kst is a such a wonderful tool for plotting live streaming

<div>It just works.</div>
<div>I can validate it by opening a .txt data file by Notepad
and change it on the fly and see the change is reflected
within Kst.</div>
<div>However, I have another application that generates to
streaming data and export it to a .txt file in real time.</div>
<div>Once I open Kst and set this file as the data source, the
application prompts
