How to plot data during Data Acquisition by using nidaqmx

[xzzgameboy]

Problem Definition: I need to use python to acquire some data for about 40 mins. The following code works fine but the only problem is that I want to see the data during the acquisition. Is there a way I can plot data at a certain refreshing rate?

The code below is modified from this post.

Thank you all!
