Channel: Joe Hildreth
Date: 2018-06-16

In this episode we give the computer running LinuxCNC a stress test to see how the Real Time system is impacted.  I give an overview of the Real Time system along with what Jitter is and how it impacts the computer.  I cover the tools that come with LinuxCNC to measure Jitter, graph the threads and the plotter which allows you to see the threads running visually over time.
