measurement example

[Cassia Yuri Tatibana <cytatiba@lcmi.ufsc.br>]

Hello,

I am facing some problems on trying to understand the measurement example
from rtlinux... If anyone has already passed through it, please: why does
the background thread exist? What is "absolute" and "advanced" variables
indicating? Which task would change its values? Why there is that cnt
counter inside the for loop, which is never touched....
If any light can be cast upon me... please send me a reply...

Thankyou deeply
