Latency and dedicated PC
But if my PC is a dedicated linuxcnc machine that has no other function - why in the testing phase do I need to play music, surf the web, race he mouse to the 4 corners of the screen etc. None of this will be going on during the running of linuxcnc - so why don't I just let the test run with background calm? - no interruptions and then input the resultant Jitter factor - its going to be a better approximation to operational reality than the test recommendation. Please enlighten me.

No real argument here, I think people do get a bit carried away. So if you want your computer to play music and you are going to surf the web while machining you got that covered.But if my PC is a dedicated linuxcnc machine that has no other function - why in the testing phase do I need to play music, surf the web, race he mouse to the 4 corners of the screen etc. None of this will be going on during the running of linuxcnc - so why don't I just let the test run with background calm? - no interruptions and then input the resultant Jitter factor - its going to be a better approximation to operational reality than the test recommendation.

However the Axis interface and linuxcnc do use computer resources, so running glxgears, etc. for the test does make sense and as Todd pointed out it is better to error on the safe side.

It does not affect the real time processes that run under RTAI that LinuxCNC uses
