Could someone please offer a recommendation regarding the best approach
in the Cocoa world for displaying an incoming stream of realtime data
from an instrument? I have developed some code which correctly parses a
serial stream of physiological data and prints body temperature for
instance to the console. But I want to be able to go beyond simple
printf's and open a separate window with the text representing the
temperature enlarged and continuously being updated.
Should I be using Interface Builder to set up some sort of NSView
variant of a text window? Would this require a separate backend process
running which converts the serial stream of data to a float which I
would then somehow NSPipe over to IB? Or should I include the serial
stream processing in the controller which is created to work with IB?
Somehow this last idea seems wrongheaded but then I am still learning.
Many thanks for your patience and support...
Saul
