NI 6509 5mSec timing requirement

[Gordo]

I am being asked to upgrade an existing system that uses a 6509 Digital I/O board for both inputs and outputs.  The current system has some timing requirements such that an output must respond within 60 ms of a selected input.  That system is working correctly.  The new requirements are for the output to respond within 5ms of a selected input.  Since we are using Windows XP operating system I don't see we can do this.  Is there a real time solution using existing hardware that I can look at?
 
Thanks... Gordon

Thanks... GordonGordon,Thanks for contacting National Instruments.  I have a few questions that would help us determine what a good solution may be. 1.)  What is your application?  2.)  What are the inputs that you are describing?  3.)  Have you attempted this application already?  4.)  Do you have any other hardware besides the 6509?5.)  Is the 6509 you have a PXI device or PCI?Regards
