Realtime data acquisition

thx that is gr8

Realtime acquisition is quite possible on a Windows Platform, even with the tightest timing requirements. Unfortunately 99.9% of the people do not bother tring to do it the correct way, writing a kernel level driver that directly responds to the hardware interrupts. Once this core level is properly implemented it is fairly straight forward to add the additional layers to make this information available at the .NET/CLR level. The Windows Platform and Device Drivers SDK provides a good number of samples for interfacing to both DMa and non-DMA devices. This is where anyone interested should start.

What do you mean with realtime... (reliable)realtime data acquisition is not possible on non-realtime operating system, like Windows XP ;)
