I have a script reading instrument output quite nicely using importdata()
The instrument runs for hours, and creates a comma delimited ASCII data file, which has new data appended every second. Can't find a way to get incremental data that is added each second.
Must I drop down to C style I/O to read the file, then re-read it and parse for updates? How can I get the equivalent running a fork of the data acquisition process and looking at the stream of data provided by a 'tail' piped into a process?
