Re: Monitor cRIO CPU level

> I'll wait for someone to ask.

OK, I'll ask

We're interested in tracking CPU load because we'd like to apply any otherwise unoccupied CPU horsepower to sampling and smoothing noisy sensor inputs. It's easy enough to write a Thread (we're using Java) to do this as fast as it can, but we don't want to risk starving more important tasks.

It's a lot easier to tune things like this if there's an easy way to watch CPU loads during development. Any hints?
