Starting a Task

You can use Task Manager to start real-time processes (.rtss) and Windows processes linked to RTX64 (.exe).

To start a task:

If Task Manager is not already running, from the Start menu, choose All Programs > IntervalZero RTX64 3.7 Runtime > Task Manager .
Click Start task... to launch the Start New Task dialog.
To select a process to run you can either:
- Choose a recently run process from the Open dropdown (the last run process is selected by default).
- Click the Browse button and choose an .rtss file or .exe file in the default directory (C:\Users\Current-User\Documents\), or navigate to a different directory. Executables can be either RTX64 or native Windows applications, for example SRTM.exe. If you select an .exe to run, the “Memory Allocation Behavior” section under Options is grayed out.

NOTE: You cannot run an RTSS process from a mapped drive.

(Optional )Type any required command line parameters. These are the same parameters you would enter if you ran the process from a command prompt.
(Optional) Click Options to see the available options:
- Memory allocation behavior: You can specify that memory for this process be allocated from the local memory pool (deterministic) or from Windows (non-deterministic). This setting overrides the global setting for memory behavior in the Control Panel.
- Ideal processor: This is the processor on which this process's main thread will run.
- Affinity mask: This is the set of processors on which this process' threads may run. Create the mask by enabling and disabling the processors provided. By default the affinity mask contains all processors available to your application type. If you modify the affinity mask, it must at least include the processor you selected as the ideal processor.
Click OK to start the task.
