ITC/USA 2005 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-First Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 24-27, 2005 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada === Near real-time telemetry acquisition, processing and analysis on a desktop PC have always been difficult. Many factors complicate working with real-time data, including operating system latencies, design inefficiencies and hardware limitations. These problems are further compounded when data from multiple sources had to be integrated, increasing design complexity. Current design solutions for analyzing data in near real-time now utilize the latest hardware implementations and software designs, taking advantage of new hardware and language features. This paper will discuss several issues found with PC-based telemetry systems and how new designs are addressing these issues.
