The only things that I know you can modify are variables and using Dprint to send to a serial port.
A similar case is a probing program, the only way is to hook a computer to the serial port and send the coordinates from probing to that port.
The best you could do is save to a bunch of variables, one after the other, and batch-send them with Dprint. You said monitoring, so that is probably not helpful.
I don't know what you are monitoring--just if the machine is done? or which too it is on? Maybe something as simple as either an ethernet-camera pointed at the control, or a cheap EEEP netbook with a web cam, run VNC on it and login remotely to operate the webcam on another computer on your network (or from home).
Just an idea.
