Our project has outgrown our existing RTL system and we are looking to
upgrade the hardware and the RTLinux version.
What are peoples experiences with dual Pentium III or P4 systems?
Anyone using these types of system with RTLinux? What version of RTLinux
are you using? Any suggestions or warnings?
We have been using a dual 400 MHz Celeron system w/ RTL 3.0 and kernel
2.2.xx to control a 4 channel 12 bit A-to-D (for a quadrant detector)
and 2 channel 12 bit microscope stage position control (using a NI
PCI-MIO-16E-4 card.) We also have two axis digital control of the X and
Y laser for the laser trap.
We trap microscoping protein coated beads in a 'laser pressure' trap so
that the beads create a shadow on a quadrant light detector. Movement is
calculated as the shadow changes position away from center of detector.
We measure single protein interaction events.
The application has grown steadily over the years, and we are now
feeling processor limited. The dual Celeron had little response jitter.
The user interface is needing more processor power to display the real
time data.
Any feedback would be helpful.
Regards,
Steve
