Porting a Complex Machine Tool Error Compensation System from Microsoft DOS toMicrosoft Windows NT

摘要

This report describes the porting of a manufacturing quality control system fromPC-type computers operating on Microsoft DOS, Microsoft Windows 95, and IBM OS/2, to updated PCs operating on Microsoft Windows NT. The changes included adapting the control software and input/output (I/O) card drivers from 16-bit requirements to 32-bit requirements. Real-time response was a critical issue. The programming environment was also changed to better integrate the modules and languages.
