69.0. "what a about a time_interval lower than 10000?" by SOS6::VOUTERS (Philippe VOUTERS, Evry (France)) Fri Oct 09 1992 17:45

    Hello,
    
    I am on a customer problem which manisfest itself by a hang. An Timer
    AST does not unblock a main loop which does a wait_any on a semaphore.
    
    My question is : supposing the customer did not set the time interval
    (Ebuild parameter) to 10000 microsec. but specified another value,
    then can the timer software goes wrong ?
    
    Thank you in advance.
    Best regards,
    Philippe

	Hi Philippe, The time interval value in EBUILD corresponds to the hardware timer on the rtVAX 300 and not the KAV30 on-board timers that are programmed using the KAV$TIMERS procedure. I believe that changing the time interval parameter does not have any effect on the rtVAX 300. Graham
