| Real-time (Process) | ||
| Real-time means that
data is processed immediately.
A real-time system is always 'up-to-date'. The computer used in a real-time system is 'dedicated' - it does nothing else.
|
||
| An example of a real-time system is a Process-Control System (see 9.1). Input data received from sensors is processed immediately, analysed and any necessary actions taken without any delay. |  |
|
| Another example would be a flight
simulator.

|
|
As soon as the computer receives data that the rudder is moved, the 'airplane' responds. | |
| Exercise : Real-time (Process) | ||
| In a real-time system computers process
data . Any files that need to be updated or actions that need to be
taken are done immediately.
An example would be a real-time process-control
system.
