My simple question for reference is Who Makes National Instruments Real-Time Operating System? I just need to know the company and if you happen to have a link to their website that would also be great! Thanks.

NI does not own a real time OS. They make Labview Real Time, but the OS is made and owned by other companies. There are several to choose from. If you Google "RTOS" you will see several hits. One of them is Express Logic's RTOS. www.rtos.com

I think most NI hardware that runs LabVIEW RT runs ETS or RTX (made by Venturcom) and some hardware devices run VxWorks (made by WindRiver).

My understanding is that older standalone Real-Time platforms run on PharLap ETS from Ardence. Newer Compact RIOs and maybe others run on Wind River VxWorks.

When you try to determine whether Real-Time RTX can coexist with
Windows, National Instruments directs you to a Citrix Web Page for
evaluation software. At Citrix's Web Page I couldn't find any
evaluation software but the page mentions ETS And RTX versions of the
Real-Time software. I also concluded Phar Lap was the original
developer of the Real Time software. It appears Phar Lap was owed by
Venturcom and then Citrix bought Venturcom. Phar Lap dates back to the
19 eighties when PCs were first becoming popular
Here is the link that led to these comments.

Update take a look at the last sentence on this web Page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phar_Lap_(company) and this web Page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardence

I stand corrected. It looks like Venturcom has changed its name to Ardence.
