<p class="MsoNormal">I believe KST will update as you make updates to your .txt file. I do this a ton with KST and dirfile archives (although I seem to have to ‘touch’ key files on Windows in order to have Windows really tell KST a file has changed). There
should be options when configuring KST to read your text file (e.g., update every N seconds)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello KST,<br>
<br>
I'm interested in plotting live data. I wrote a python script to write data to a .txt file every n number of seconds. I'm wondering if this is an appropriate way to port data into the kst2 software. I would like to be able to record data to a .txt file or comparable
file format. I'm hoping to port serial data to the kst2 program with a baud rate of 115200 or 9600. I haven't been able to find anything online that discusses this process. I'm thinking that I'll run into the problem of writing to the file at the same time
as I'm trying to read it with kst2. Any advice would be appreciated. Or a simple tutorial somewhere would be great.<o:p></o:p></p>
