Thanks for coming back to me!!
The chart would be updated up to a max of about 4 or 5 times, each scan run consecutively after... I could pass a message across to the "Append data" function when the scan restarts.
Whoa! Way above my fireplace!! (For me, remembering to put a spoonful of coffee into my morning coffee is sometimes a bit complex...LOL
Here is the section that deals with the chart in question:

the two links feed in a) a frequency in hz and b)the "S" reading associated with it....
and here is a chart produced by it:
A second, third and fourth overlaid trace would help me to visually differentiate between short term disruptions and actual signals...
No further data storage other than present info is required....
