I had to laugh at that statement..
I had to learn the Delta Tau motion control platform in order to fix some problems that were being encountered nobody could figure out.
My saying on the delta tau is this..
The good thing is, the code allows you access to absolutely everything so gives the programmer absolute power....
The bad thing, is...the code allows you access to absolutely everything so gives the programmer absolute power....
Always be careful what you wish for..

Really Andreas, your droppings are in the wrong place. Isn't it funny, you are posting measurements and numbers, then blame others of "measure but not listen".
Good luck, hopefully Wenzel will buy some of your oscillators for the next mission to Mars, or maybe for the James Webb Telescope.
I measure and listen, you "measure but not listen".
I have nothing to sell to Wenzel, maybe you can sell them your phono stage.
After the Martians have listened to it, they will surely not invade the earth.
You invented the space shield.

Most of the peripheral drivers on the mbed platform are written in C - you can access the associated uC registers. This is an embedded dev platform so it makes sense. It was the same on the Keil 8 bit C compiler. I cannot speak about the PC - might be different there because you have a massive OS between the code and the machine.
As others have pointed out, inline assembler also if you want to go that low, but I have never done it.

There were some measurements done (Stereophile?).
Deeply unimpressive.
IIRC it was another one of those products where ‘fad’ carried more weight than good engineering practice.
It was done in collaboration with Ayre if I remember correctly. No surprise it didn’t measure well given their design philosophy.
I thought I saw an article on how Neil Young was anti MQA and Tidal. It wasn’t because MQA is BS, but seemed more like sour grapes since Tidal has had some success and Pono tanked. Oops.

Yeah on most embedded platforms, the peripheral registers are memory mapped and then declared in a header file.
Embedded systems with uCs are long gone
Unless you want to call an Atmel or Microchip board "embedded system".

Really? Are you sure? I don't recall sharing anything about my habits.
Or they are not stupid enough to buy as you believe is the audiophool crowd you are targeting with your shameless advertising.
I did not use the ignore list for a very long time, but you crossed the threshold.

Are they? I think I’ve seen toasters with ARM Cortex M0 these days. Guess it depends on your definition.
A great guy and really smart, we traded emails years ago on electrometer issues.
I’m not sure of the timing requirements, but in C# you may have to be a little careful. I’ve seen a system designed with very small buffers transferring a couple hundred MB/s to a C# application have a buffer overrun occasionally when the garbage collector would run. Probably not a concern for most applications, but one of the tradeoffs of C# or Java. Seems like it would be straightforward to test though.
Latency Modes | Microsoft Docs
Depends I guess, the MAC C environment let you do inline assembler for the 68040. I did lots of fun stuff like an optimized FFT that was faster than Mathematica's.
Yeah, with John's case, I'd be worried about variable latency. How real time does real time need to be? And how much of this code would be on an embedded computer versus something running non-realtime OS. Is this not something that could be put onto an FPGA board as dedicated hardware?
That said, a lot of these issues have been worked on with programs like LinuxCNC, which by description you're not far from using (or the NIST-based underlying code)

Did he listen to electrometers? If not...
I crossed with Charles several times in the past, in some <ahem> commissions. I think he sold his >40 years company a few years ago, to a major defence contractor in the US. The brand remained unchanged.
