This free application provided by Cypress gives a basic real-time plotting interface ("strip chart") for values sent out by the microcontroller over its serial port. Here is a plot of photodiode signal (arbitrary units), as a drop of milk is stirred into a testube:

Variables are defined in a dialog:

The data format is defined with an "RX8 command string", e.g.: RX8 [ H = 52 ] @0photo @1photo @2photo @3photo X @0pump @1pump @2pump @3pump X @0volt @1volt @2volt @3volt X @0corr @1corr @2corr @3corr X @0count @1count
