Realtime Capabilities of RTT

Submitted by matthiasgoldhoorn on Fri, 2014-03-07 13:56

Hello together,
for some research i need to know a few things about RTT in detail,
special the real time-guaranteement of RTT.

A connection-establishing/releasing is not real time in general because
it needs to allocate memory for the connection itself.
But, is component start/stop or operation call real time capable if the
components are within one deployment. And the component are controlled
thought (e.g.) LUA?

Same questions for Property setting?!

Best,
Matthias

Starting and stopping components is real-time (in v1 at least)

Not sure about LUA.

IIRC Properties are not necessarily real-time safe, though we use them a lot within real-time components without an issue. It may depend on what you do with them.
