[Paraview] Visualize point cloud UDP stream

[FIXED-TERM Eberle Lukas (CC-PS/ECL5)]

To whom it may concern,

I would like to visualize a real-time point cloud stream in Paraview.
Up to now I have implemented a "Programmable Source" in Paraview which receives a point cloud stream over UDP. The output of the source is selected as vtkTable. I process the source with a Table To Points filter and visualize it on screen. So far so good this is working very well.
Currently the Python script of the "Programmable Source" is executed only once. What I want to do is to update the source on a given frequency.
I tried to put my script into a while-loop but this is not working(Paraview hangs-up).
Is there a possibility to execute the "Programmable Source" within a loop or a different way to visualize a UDP stream?
Thank you in advance
Best regards

Lukas
