1.4.5 Computer Requirements
Problem
What are the requirements for the computer ?
Solution
The computer requirements needed to run PICED are not significant. Generally, the major
requirements are that the computer has enough resources to run the Operating System. If the
computer can run a recent operating system (for example, Windows XP), it will generally have no
problems running PICED.
The recommended minimum requirements for stable, reliable operation (mostly determined by the
Operating System) are:
·
Windows XP
·
500MB of hard disk free (note that Flash based hard disks can be slow to write to)
·
512MB RAM
·
1GHz Pentium 4
·
Mouse
·
800 x 600 display
·
10Mbps Network adaptor (if using with a CNI, or using Internet features)
·
DB9 Serial Port (if using with a serial PCI)
·
USB Port (if using with a USB PCI)
·
Anti-virus software
The preferred system requirements to ensure optimum performance are:
·
Windows XP Professional
·
5GB of hard disk free
·
512MB RAM
·
2GHz Pentium 4 or Core 2 Duo processor E6300 or better
·
Mouse
·
1024 x 768 display
·
10Mbps Network adaptor (if using with a CNI, or using Internet features)
·
DB9 Serial Port (if using with a serial PCI)
·
USB Port (if using with a USB PCI)
·
Anti-virus software
If using with Windows Vista, the processor requirements are more significant :
·
2GB RAM
·
2.4GHz Pentium 4
The above figures assume that you have a moderate sized Project. For an especially large Project,
you may require more memory and hard disk.
