If you are on the Microsoft side of the fence, Excel is perfect for this. There is an easy to use MSCOMM32.OCX object to control the serial port. This reduces your problem to moving the serial port data to an [x,y] column that is attached to a scatter plot.
This is easy to do with Excel's built in VBA so I assume it would also be easy to do with Python, given that you can use Python to manipulate the Excel object model . On the Linux/Unix side. Gnumeric seems to serve very well although I don't yet have sufficient personal experience with it to know about the "gotcha's" you might encounter. I am also guessing that the Open Office spreadsheet would work too. Thomas Bartkus -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
