RTX64-Enabled Windows Applications
RTX64 provides developers with the ability for RTX64 enabled windows applications (.exe) to communicate with RTSS applications (.rtss) through a provided set of inter-process communication (IPC) calls. RTX64-enabled applications can use all of the Win32 functionality that Microsoft provides. The Win32 functionality is usually used for the user interface or non-real-time-critical pieces within a design.
RTX64-Enabled Windows Kernel Drivers
RTX64 provides developers with the ability for RTX64 enabled Windows kernel drivers (.sys) to communicate with RTSS applications (.rtss) through a provided set of inter-process communication (IPC) calls. RTX64-enabled drivers can use all of the functionality that Microsoft WDK provides.
RTSS Applications
RTSS applications provide real-time functionality on a Windows operating system. RTSS applications can communicate with RTX64-enabled Windows applications through inter-process communication (IPC). RTSS applications should be used for all time critical processing.
NOTE: RTSS applications require a valid license to be built and run. If a valid license does not exist, the RTSS process will not run. You license an RTSS application by stamping it with the StampTool utility.
