Hello,

In this case, which is a nice library for HMI to use with real-time
software?

I am not working right now with this at the moment, but I intend to work
with it soon. And, probably, I will face similar issues.

Best Regards,

Flavio

What makes you think so? A refresh every 5 milliseconds means 200
frames per second. No human eye is fast enough to see that. Even if
you relax your timings by a factor of 10 (!) you get 20 frames per
second, which is faster than you can actually see.

You don't need that, and you don't want that. Instead,  you  want  to
split  your  design  into  a real-time part that does the data acqui-
sition  and  processing,  and  a  non-realtime  part  that  does  the
visualization.

There are few excations, like when you must control alarm signals;
but in this case you normally want to have hardware support for that,
i. e. separate alram lights, beepers etc.

There are many options for the GUI, but you  should  not  attempt  to
select  these  for  their  real-time  capabilities.  If  you  need  a
RT-capable graphics environment, you can be  pretty  sure  that  your
system is misdesigned.

Best regards,

C++ was an interesting and valuable experiment, but we've learned its
lessons and it's time to move on.
