I'm looking for a chart library that can plot real-time data, can anyone give any suggestions?

I guess it would depend on your throughput rate. We've been using a port of jqplot: https://github.com/scattering/jqplot.science

You can see it in action at: http://ncnr.nist.gov/ipeek/

We developed this to allow people to monitor experiments from the comfort of their hotel room. Our rates are relatively slow on most instruments (no faster than 1 pt/sec, where a pt may be effectively an image, or just a single datapoint).

Right now, we're not running, but it's fun to watch when it's updating.

I have used HighCharts before for this. You'll want to look at their "Dynamic Charts" section: http://www.highcharts.com/demo/dynamic-update
That looks pretty nifty, thanks
I'm using Amcharts right now, here's the example with rt data http://www.amcharts.com/tutorials/real-time-data/
