See cxOutputDataFlush() . This is how the infamous Kuwait demo shoves each
frame of the simulation downstream. But be aware that a module that is
running all the time is not capable of re-reading widgets. A better approach 
might be to use cxTimerAdd with cxFireASAP and go in/out of user code. 
This will allow the user to at least tell it to stop ;-)
