Images are going to reach the list, so stick to text.

Do you have any indication the driver successfully bound to the device? 
Look to see what you have in
/sys/bus/iio/devices/

If the driver is connected you can just cat from the relevant files
under the deviceX directory.

Interrupt driven approaches also possible.  Take a look at the tools
under tools/iio/ in the kernel source tree.  The generic buffer code
should dump a pretty formatted version of what is being read form the
device and you can pipe that to a file.
