The most likely effect of a software problem will be a crash. This would most likely cause pulses to stop, not to speed up. There is now a watchdog HAL component, which can monitor heartbeats from other modules (not that any other modules currently output such a heartbeat), and which will disable its output if any heartbeat stops. This would cause situations where some userspace modules die, but the realtime kernel keeps running, to still cause a fault. (As it is, if RT is running, the heartbeat will be output, regardless of whether e.g. the GUI has crashed) - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: WikiLeaks The End of the Free Internet http://p.sf.net/sfu/therealnews-com _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
