Windows is not a true real-time Operating System. Is that a problem for high-speed data collection?
Although it is correct that Windows is not a true “hard real-time” operating system, the strong demand in the marketplace for high-speed, time-critical applications on the Windows platform – such as gigabit networking and streaming broadband audio/video – has provided the tools and foundation required for building high-performance data acquisition applications, such as the CTI libraries, on Windows. The CTI libraries have been carefully built to take advantage of these facilities, and as a result, we are able to collect samples from the high-speed interface card at the full 50,000 calibrated samples per second on a standard Windows platform. For those customers building embedded systems, those using the PC104 version of the high-speed interface card, or for those situations where unattended (“headless”) operation is desired, we suggest that our Linux products be considered.
