Abstract

RTLab is an ongoing project to develop a general-purpose, open-source, hard real-time experiment interface software system. The need for real-time interface systems is ubiquitous in biomedical research (e.g., cardiac arrhythmia control, stochastic dynamic damping). The RTLab software, which utilizes real-time Linux, allows for applicability to a wide range of biomedical experiments. Flexibility is achieved through modular software design, flexible graphical layout generation, and hardware transparency.
