Hello 
   
  Thanks for those whom have helped. I manage to get it to work but it is not 
working so smoothly. Does anyone know of another way I can achieve pleasant 
results? I am new to this with python and am trying to get my head around this. 
Basically I would like to plot a log file continuously whereby I can still use 
the span, zoom and rehome buttons without it opening many other windows.
   
  Here is the code to generate the log data file:
   
  import time
import math
import random
  def test():
    for i in range(900):
        fileData = open('c:\\data.txt','a')
        time.sleep(1)  
        fileData.write('%d' % int(i))
        fileData.write('\t')
        fileData.write('%f' % int(random.random()*5))
        fileData.write('\n')
        fileData.close()
        print('*'),
  test()
   
  Here is a code to plot with some edits and credit given to previous kind 
helpers.
   
  from pylab import *
import time
  tstart = time.time()
  while True:
    ion()
    inData = load('c:\\data.txt')
    x = inData[:,0]
    y = inData[:,1]
    plot(x,y,'o')
    draw()
    time.sleep(2)
    print 'FPS:' , 200/(time.time()-tstart)
   
  Looking forward to your help....BR /Ray
