System Requirements
SpatialAnalyzer is capable of running on most any modern computing platform with a full Windows operating system. To run on a Mac a Windows environment must be installed such as using Boot Camp or something similar.
Minimum Requirements:
A basic computer configuration that supports SA would include:
-
Windows 10™ (64-bit) or later
-
8 GB RAM
-
5 GB free disk space for installation (more for your data files)
-
1600 x 900 screen resolution
-
Basic support for your instrument drivers.
Recommendations for Optimal Performance:
The system outlined below will provide a good base platform for using the most advanced features of SA. With this equipment, measurement data may be gathered with high data rates (1 kHz sampling rates) into complex models containing numerous CAD surfaces.
-
3.5 GHz or faster eight-core or more 64-bit processor
-
Windows 10™ (64-bit)
-
64 GB system RAM or more
-
1920x1080 or higher screen resolution
-
Hardware-accelerated graphics card supporting OpenGL®, and ideally an NVIDIA card that offers CUDA processing.
-
500 GB of free hard disk space
For large-volume scanning applications or very large CAD models, you may need more memory. Some applications such as USMN can also take advantage of Nvidia CUDA Cores, so an advanced graphics card could also be helpful. Check with your instrument hardware manufacturer for their recommendations as well.
