Question on multiple sessions...
One possibility is to write the real time acquisition in tcl and then the actual data processing in R. The tcltk package (which is included in the Windows distribution of R but is available from CRAN on all distributions) can handle tasks running concurrently with R. See the svSocket and Rpad packages as examples of this approach.

Assuming one wants to use an open session to collect real time data a la IBrokers or similar, what would be the best way to maintain another session for calculations? Is RServe the answer or is there a lighter solution for semi-auto analytical script running? Either Windows or Linux solutions would be appreciated.
