Paul, you can use the window object, specifically the
window.setInterval() function, in combination with one of the Ajax
abstraction methods:

var requestInformation = function () {
    $.getJSON(url,input,function(output){
        $("#infobox").empty().append("<p>"+output.data+"</p>");
    });
}

// Request information every 6 seconds (6000ms)
window.setInterval(requestInformation,6000);

pull this data into a div on my page every 5 seconds so my app always shows
the most recent scale reading?
