Miscellaneous
RTIF.SYS driver
When you install INtime software, the installation process sets up the Windows system
to allow RtIf.sys, the RT kernel mode device driver, to load at boot time.
Interrupt resources
By default, INtime software takes over the system clock (IRQ0) and multiplexes the
clock interrupt between the RT and the Windows kernels. INtime applications can take
over other interrupts, but must ensure that Windows drivers do not try to use the
associated devices.
Use the INtime Device Manager applet to assign devices and interrupt resources to the
INtime kernel.
Configuring INtime applications
This section details the steps required to configure INtime applications for specific
conditions. You can also access this information in the INtime Configuration’s Help file.
