Hi all,
I'm using Veusz to show some process data from a laboratory furnace on an old PC running win XP. The data are acquired from the serial port and logged to a csv file (a standard Veusz file with the descriptor row) updated about once per second. I have a single log file per workday. Using Veusz I load the data and plot them. Since the plot is used to decide if the furnace is ready for a new treatment I have to refresh the plot frequently. I use the reload feature with the "reload every" option enabled, but when the log file becomes big (80k lines) this operation can take a minute or more, and so it is not exactly an "on line" monitoring.

Since I need to show only the last 1000 lines of my log file, I think that the "capture" feature should fit perfectly my needs. I tried it some times but I could not make it work. Is it possible to use it on windows?

Is there a way to hide the reload window while it works with the "reload every" option enabled or at least to iconify or minimize or hide it? Now, in order to see the plot, I have to move the reload window in a corner of the screen while keeping it visible, and this is really annoying.

Thanks for this wonderful program.
Ciao,
Valerio.
