A versatile data display module based on a stream-processing data acquisition architecture is designed and implemented to solve the reusing problem of the data display module in different DAQ system and to reduce the design workload. This data display module is divided into two parts： display data generation （DG） node and data display （DS） node. As the standard stream-processing nodes in the new DAQ architecture， the DG and DS nodes have same data format and data interface definition with other stream-processing nodes， and can be connected freely to other nodes in the same data domain， while the difference properties of each data domain can be configured by different work parameters. Through the abstract of the display data generation and data display mode in a DAQ system， in the DG node a universal model is used to extract and gather information to be displayed from the input data stream， and in the DS node some visualization methods are provided for different data information display based on the intrinsic dimensions of the data. Thus the universal display demand can be fulfilled by inserting and configuring these two nodes in the DAQ system. The versatile data display module has been used in the DAQ system for offshore seismic exploration and high-energy physics experiment.
