HF2LI-RT Real-time

The HF2LI-RT option consists of a programming environment that enables the user to implement customized software on a powerful embedded Microblaze® processor inside the HF2LI. Plenty of resources to support complex algorithms are provided. This is for instance required by RT (real-time) applications needing fast reaction based of input signal changes. The processor runs free of interrupts and the timing behaviour of the software is inherently robust and reproducible.

HF2LI-RT Key Features

• User programmability for embedded processor
• 32-bit processing unit at 64 MHz, a 32-bit floating-point unit,
  64 Mbyte of RAM
• Real-time system reaction time better than 10 µs
• Extensive development environment in C
  (API, libraries, compiler, documentation, examples)
• File I/O support for writing data to files on the host PC
• Access to all settings of the Instrument
• Automatic synchronization of settings between
  user interface ziControl and real-time program
• Option upgradeable in the field

HF2LI-RT Compatibility to Other Options

• Cannot operate in parallel to HF2LI-PID Quad PID Controller option
