The Data Processor model of AIJ does not have a live stacking capability, as you suspected. If you're doing photometry
from the images, you can use the "binning" function on the Multi-Plot Y-data panel that will give the same result as
stacking 'n' images and then running photometry. If your eventual goal is not photometry, then this would of course not
help solve your issue.

I think this would be a fairly major effort to get working as am AIJ macro. I think this could be done in python more
easily since each of the building blocks you need are probably publicly available. I think a python solution is still a
good bit of work though.
