Real time under Windows and linux is not generally possible, but can be obtained in linux with special provisions in a heavily modified kernel, or in either with a separate master real-time program that provides real time functions with linux as a subordinate module.
Even with the specialized additions to make linux or Windows real-time, you won't get real-time performance unless you know how to use it -- and that's not trivial, or even easy!
Although real-time modified Windows and linux are possible, and becoming more popular, it's almost always easier to use a real-time operating system or executive (depending upon what exactly you want to do), and you'll always come out at the end with a more robust system, at least from a real-time point of view. Other, non-real time considerations sometimes make it better to use the desktop and server programs (Win and Linux), but this is separate from real-time considerations.
Could explaine about this desktops and server programs more detailed..??
With all this said, many people often miscall "interactive", "event-driven", and "quick-response" programming real-time, so we'd have to know what you're trying to do.
have you worked under labview?? (sorry this is not free software, but i must mention it), i would like to create an application which allows me to get data from a Data Acquisition Card. Actually I am thinking of working with a National Instruments Acquisition data card, this card is used for applications on which is required to measure any process, from voltage to temperature to an electric engine speed. This card just get an analog input that can vary from 10 volts to 10 volts (no matter the process to be tested it is required to transform it into a ±10 v signal and connect it to the card) then internally the analog signal is transformed to a digital signal and sent to the computer using a PCI, USB or PCMCIA bus. For the USB (low cost option) bus the specifications as follows: Bus Interface: USB 2.0 full-speed (12 Mb/s) Analog Input Sample rate: 10 kS/s This is just a basic description of course such card can handle up to 16 analog inputs

And, of course, procedural programming, real-time or not, is completely different from text markup programming, so you have a lot to learn before you go very far, no matter what you're really doing :-).
I know this requires lot of reading and learning, that´s why I am asking for help at this forum : ) any manual, tutorial or link to introduce me to the real data programming I would appreciate your suggesttions
If your html programming included javascript and/or php, you have a vague idea what the difference is.
Thinking of python to develop the GUI interface, there is a powerful library called Matplotlib which allows graphics interface familiar to matlab and code seems simple, on the other hand could i handle the data by coding C ?? Thanks for your help in advance Regards.- Juan
