Real-time Development on a Windows Workstation

An INtime application is composed of executable files for both the Windows and the real-time environments. To develop the Windows executable part of an INtime application, you simply use the standard Windows development environment, including Microsoft Visual Studio and its integrated debugger, with full and unrestricted access to the Win32 APIs for all non-real-time processes.

Editing, compiling, and linking the real-time executables for your INtime application is accomplished using the very same Visual Studio compiler you use to create the Windows executables. INtime software includes a Win32-like API, full C and EC++ library support, and a source-level dynamic debugger that runs under Windows with full access to the INtime run-time environment and real-time API.

INtime software also includes a set of wizards that integrate seamlessly with Microsoft Visual Studio. The wizards guide you through many of the design decisions necessary to develop a real-time application and automatically generate appropriate code. An object browser and a performance monitoring tool, together with the online help and sample applications, increase your efficiency when developing INtime applications.
