Labview, Windows XP and Real Time

[Now-Boarding]

Through Windows XP SP2 and Task Manager will setting the priority level to "Realtime" for Labview 7.0 actually have the same speed and processing as Labview Realtime?

[Norbert_B]

Real time is NOTHING about speed. It's about DETERMINISM.

And no, you will only block the CPU for this task, starving the OS until it uses priority inheritance to kick your real time task from the CPU from time to time.....

So a non-real time OS cannot be configured to behave exactly like a real time OS. Never ever. BUT: It can get quite close, maybe being sufficient for your task.....

You can give it a try (i wouldn't increase the priority level but disable Windows services which are known to take some time like

- Screensaver

- Indexing

- Virus scan

- Firewall

So nearly all security features and everything concerning display.

hope this helps,
