For command line argument information:
python SerialGraph.py -h:

Usage: SerialGraph.py [options]
Graph arbitrary data received from serial port

Options:
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -p PORT, --port=PORT  Serial port. Default: /dev/tty.usbserial
  -b BAUDRATE, --baudrate=BAUDRATE
                        Baud rate. Default: 9600
  -x XLABEL, --xlabel=XLABEL
                        Label for X axis. Default: seconds
  -y YLABEL, --ylabel=YLABEL
                        Label for Y axis. Default: mW

Originally designed as a replacement for the Windows-only program
that came with my laser power meter.

Requires Python 2.6 and the following modules:
serial
wx
matplotlib
numpy
pylab

Code heavily borrowed from Blended Technologies:

Which was based on this demo:
