Yes, those projects are uber cool, and I am familiar with some, but not all, of the tools you mention. My real point was "it would be REALLY cool if EMC/LinuxCNC has these analytical tools in its arsenal." I would LOVE to be wrong, but I do not remember hearing anything about these in the forums, documentation, etc. BTW, thanks for the pointers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
