Use 1 array with the times and 1 array with your data.
Create a while loop that checks the number of bytes available at the serial
port. When new data arrives append the data to the data array and record
the time in the time array (either absolute or subtract the beginning of the
measurement, or the last time data arrived, whatever you want).
Bundle the 2 arrays in a cluster and feed the
m to an X-Y graph.
