3.7 Working with Tama Programs
Tama programs
are custom real time extensions to the device firmware. They are written in C# and
compiled to the proprietary
.tama
assembly format, the
Tama assembly
. That said, both terms are
used interchangeably.
A Tama program has access to the complete register interface of a device and consists of different tasks.
The
isochronous
task runs in hard real time while the
asynchronous
task runs within an interruptible
routine.
Remark

If you want to author a
Tama program

Tama Library
sample (

) or the related documentation [5] and [6] (
