Not at this time.

We are going to look at using the JChart package that we use for
plotting some other graphs to display some of these probes.  At
that point, it might be possible to do what you want.  At this point,
we don't have a timetable.

I guess it depends on your programming skill.  We recently added some
of the JChart functionality to the Data Probe control (in the nightly
build - http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/release/nightly) so
you could use that as a guide.  It would be a bit of work, but if
you are willing, we could guide you along.
