RTXI

RTXI, the Real-Time eXperiment Interface, is a hard real-time data acquisition and control application for biological research. At its core is a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), which uses a modified Linux kernel to provide deterministic control in a variety of experimental settings. RTXI is a fast, free, and open-source system currently used in labs all over the world to probe diverse, technologically challenging problems, such as dynamic probing of ion-channel function, control of cardiac arrhythmia dynamics, and control of deep-brain stimulation patterns... Unfortunately, real-time control is not possible with standard operating systems and software. Furthermore, commercial real-time systems are costly and often designed for industrial applications, and the proprietary software licenses and drivers that come with them constrain their flexibility in experimental settings. To get away from that, we developed RTXI. It's fast, free, and flexible, and it's compatible with a wide range..
