DP Real-time - access to measurements table from another program

If find the DP real-time mode very useful during a long time series.  I setup a plot that I can glance at and quickly see if anything is going amiss.  

I wonder if there is any way to easily access the data in the measurements table from another program so I could take some action.  I confess - sometimes I fall asleep!  I could trigger an alarm.  Or, since I control the imaging with custom software, I could for example adjust focus if the FWHM started to drift.

I set the mutli-aperture measurements so the plot and measurements table are updated after each image, but the measurements table is not available in a file until I save it.  Clearly, you would not want the measurements to written after each image in normal operation, but is there a way to get this to happen in the DP real-time mode?

Or perhaps I should look into the macro mechanism?

Thanks for any suggestions,
