[9fans] OT: hard realtime, timing diagram GUI.

2014-05-08 Thread Steve Simon
Hi, Just trying to tap the collective brains fo the plan9 community. Anyone done any hard realtime programming? I am looking for a simple GUI tool which will read a text file I can generate from my code and display a timing diagram. This should allow either events triggered by the clock, by an

I don't understand why realtime matters. Only that such diagrams are more important in realtime systems. How do you want these events represented on the timing diagram? I suspose a clock line, left to right, at the top. events appear as signals, one below the other running paralle to the

Somthing like graphviz for timing diagrammes. It's been a long time since I checked, but have you looked at MRTG? ++L

Would https://github.com/drom/wavedrom do? See the tutorial. Step 8 shows bezier arrows linking waveforms. And it seems to be actively developed. There is a command line version as well. On May 8, 2014, at 5:52 AM, Steve Simon st...@quintile.net wrote: I don't understand why realtime matters.
