Do you need to know how to read the external data, or how to display the external data? You don't say which.
You may get some ideas for display in the thread A Current Trendin the knowledge base
I would personally set up two separate processes.
Process 1, running as a standalone exe, would populate a database with the external data. Process 2 would retrieve and display the data that is being stored by process 1.
In this manner, you could have multiple clients displaying the data in different formats or time bases simultaneously.
