A data source is specified to which data is appended at regular intervals. When new data is added, the data Model notifies its view (the chart) to update itself. StripDataSource implements ChartData, which means it can send ChartDataEvents to JCChart.

Controls allow the data updating to be paused and a display of the last 50, 100 or 200 data points can be selected.

The chart's automatic time axis displays the real elapsed time since the start of the trial.

A related axis (in this case a duplicate of the initial Y axis) is added on the right of the chart.

Esthetic aspects including colors (by RGB and by name), fonts, borders and grid lines are also specified.
