Hello,
I need to use Windows under interruption when executing a specific
task under windows. Indeed, I'm using an acquisition GAGE card and I
want to transfer as fast as possible data from it to my PC. Does
anyone have any alraedy made code to help me ? Is there any easy
solution (I'm affraid of the answer) ? Otherwise, is there any
intermediate solution, namely : not allowing windows to work "too
much" during the application, and making the task as prioritar as
possible ?

Thanks very much in advance to all those who can help me.

Best
Julien

A common way of solving such tasks is by using a high priority thread for
the communication. With tpTimeCritical priority, it works almos as if using
interrupts (which I believe doesn't work with W2k/XP).

See :-

SetPriorityClass
REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS

SetThreadPriority
THREAD_PRIORITY_TIME_CRITICAL  

You'll find them in the Windows Programmers Reference help files that
are part of the Delphi help system

Your problem as the programmer is simply to pick it up at the other end.
Now, if you want to write a program that post-processes the data thats been
acquired as and when the OS lets you, then that's just fine. What you can't
do on a PC is have your program handle an incoming stream and respond to it
on a microsecond by microsecond basis. If you give me an idea of what it is
you are trying to do, I can be more specific.
