Hendryk,

The only way to speed-up the transfer is to use a dual Pentium PC.
This is not a limitation of the RTDX. It is a limitation of the COM
interface of CCS.
From my investigation CCS seams to be a single thread application with a lot
of overhead (pooling the RTDX H/W).
When I use a PC with only one Pentium Pro at 300 MHz I get maximum 20
messages/sec.
But if I switch to a dual Pentium ||| 500MHz PC I get a maximum of 150
messages/sec.

As you can see the faster PC you have the faster transfer you get (you can
find this note in the RTDX online help).
This is the Real Time Data Exchange in the understanding of CCS designers.

Good luck,
Iulian Stoica

Yes....Windows 98 is sucks that's why I never use Win98. Win97 should be
better
in port access etc. >

Are you sure if the speed is getting faster then you won't loose any data in
race
condition?
I am using Visual C++ too for Low Level Programming but I never impressed by
it's speed
of code optimization or byte alligment.
Are your code MFC extensive (Doc/View architecture) ?

Try to use Win97 if you do not really need AGP function and Code in pure
assembly! Danang Suharno
