Hi Daniel,

Please find attached a jitter measurement example that use one shot
mode.  In general there is nothing special you need to do (in rtai you
need to say: rt_set_oneshot_mode before starting the timer).

The issue with oneshot versus periodic is:

Periodic:

+ More efficient as there is less timer re-programming
- The task periods must be a multiple of a base period

Oneshot:

+ Task periods can be unrelated
- Needs more timer reprogramming so the maximum potential task frequency
is lower
