You need to read the manual of your flowmeter and determine how the actual flow rate relates to the frequency of your signal.  Most sensors make it a very easy linear relationship.  Then just do the calculation and display your result in an numeric indicator.  No need for a graph unless you like looking at a square wave.  Although you might want to chart the numeric value so you have a history of the flow rate.

 

EDIT:  There is a VI called "Extract Single Tone Information.vi" that can read the square wave and return its frequency. Smiley Wink
