Usually such would be run in a gateway timer event script or a gateway scheduled event script, and the results placed in memory tags. The various UI consumers would **bind** to those tags to always have the most recent values.

Couple options:

1. Tie those values in your view to a tag and have the gateway update the tags periodically using Designer\>Scripting\>Gateway Events\>Scheduled.
2. Create a parameter in your view with the following expressions: now(60000) - this value will update once a minute. Set up a change script on this same parameter to execute your script.

Is there a reason you don't want live values? Then they would update continuously.
