1.9. System Requirements
In order to obtain reasonable performance from your digitizer, Acqiris products need the following minimum PC
System Requirements:
Processor: 150 MHz Pentium (higher recommended)
Memory: 64 MB RAM. The previous number is a very rough estimate. Assuming that you are using AcqirisLive or
an application of your own that operates on the acquired data it seems reasonable to ask for 10 times the
total acquisition memory that you will be using at the same time in the application. Performance is likely
to be degraded if less memory is available.
Display resolution: At least 800 x 600 pixels and 256 colors for use of AcqirisLive or AcqirisDemo
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 2000/XP including 2003 Server, Wind River VxWorks 5.5.1, and Linux.
The following Linux versions have compiled loadable kernel modules:
RedHat Enterprise Linux Version 3 - Kernel Version 2.4.21-4.EL
RedHat Enterprise Linux Version 3 - Kernel Version 2.4.21-4.ELsmp,
Suse Linux 9.2 - Kernel version 2.6.8-24-smp,
Debian Sarge 3.1 2.6.8-3-686,
Debian 4.0 etch Kernel version 2.6.18-4-686,
Scientific Linux 4.4 Kernel version 2.6.9-11.EL).
