Your machine is using the RTAI kernel, as indicated by the "rtai" in the kernel version string. This means you should expect good latency when running the rtai flavor of linuxcnc, and bad latency when running the uspace flavor. Which is what we see in your latency plots. >> http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/getting-started > > New documentation and image - this is great! :-) -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
