kcomedilib

Hello,

PLease be patient with my inexperience.

I am wondering where I may be able to find some information about kcomedilib
and its architecture in RT-Linux. I need to know how it exactly fits with
comedi, comedilib, and RT-Linux...is the latency of these modules known? How
long will the aqcuisition or command output take in a real time setting, and
how is it guaranteed (I imagine it has a lot to do with how kcomedilib
interacts with RT-Linux priority functions?). Do I just need to study
comedilib and as long as kcomedilib is running in the kernel they will
execute with real-time priority?

Also, I have noticed the RTAI-based real-time example programs, are those
compatible with RT-Linux? The header file rtai.h would need to be changed of
course (to rtl.h and/or others??) and the rt_printl function (I think that
was it) would need to be changed to rtl_printf, but is there anything else
that would need to be changed?

Any help is appreciated...
