Hi, I've used separate threads to acquire data and then notify the Qt UI thread using the signals. Demo code for that method here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pyqtgraph/ajykxBvysEc/e1V8lvZSCgAJ
Someone else was trying to use a multiprocessing approach and I gave a working example of that here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pyqtgraph/VFLVHlNRLHg/gxzDNC_6AgAJ The issue is you want to start the processes from outside of the Qt event loop -- the process .join() commands will block until the new process ends, and so will block the Qt event loop. See example above, where the Qt event loop (app) is started from inside the receiver process, and the sender and receiver processes are started in "main" code block.
