>commands that control some of the execution of the real time processes.

> I use a shared library of small routines to pass the data back and forth between
>LabView and RT-Linux. These routines access both shared memory and the RT-fifos.

> I used the initial execution of the LabView program to install the real time modules
>and I also had LabView remove the modules in an orderly fashion when the program was
>terminated. This was important because some of the users of the project did not want
>to be bothered with the low level details required to make it work. They just wanted
>to be able to use it and they really wanted to have a single point of entry and exit.

> The largest benefit that I got from using these two products together was that I was
>able to produce the graphical user interface quickly. It is easy to change the
>interface when new requirements arrived.
>
> I will admit that I have had about 40 hours of training in LabView. However, it
>was about a year before starting the project. Furthermore, this was the first
>project in which I used LabView since the training.

> I was hoping to put together a little write up on how I interfaced the two products
>with each other and send it to the news group. I wanted to include code examples
>etc. However, every time I think I have some time to do that I get a couple more
>jobs piled on. If this is of interest to other people I may be able boost the
