Measurement acrhives (MA) contain history data which is gathered from real
network infrastructure, so you can consider MA providing real time data as
well.  On contrast, measurement points (MP) allow performing on-demand tests.

By installing a MA service, you effectively are exporting your MA data.
PerfsonarUI is just a client, used to visualise the data, exported by various
MA (and MP).

You could add you own MA into the perfsonarUI list of MA via "Service
addresses" option. Click on "New" and edit the new entry. Then click on "Save"
to save the updated list into a file.
Use "Load" to load the file on subsequent PerfsonarUI runs.

Alternatively, you can configure your MA to register into a Lookup Service,
however, the current stable PerfsonarUI 0.13 has only a rudimentary support
for retrieving MA addresses from LS (which is going to change in next
release).

Hope this helps,
