Notes:
1 Your PC must be properly configured for the A3200 to take advantage of a multi-core processor.
2 64 bit operating systems are not supported.
3. For this recommended configuration, a dedicated graphics card is not required if the chipset has integrated graphics.
These are the minimum system requirements for the A3200 SMC. These requirements are not adequate for all
user applications. Follow the Recommended PC Configuration in the previous table or discuss your application
with an Aerotech Customer Service representative.

Notes:
1 Laptop computers are not supported. They can be used for
offline debugging and simulation only. PCMCIA FireWire cards
are not supported.
2 64 bit operating systems are not supported.
3 Because some systems cannot support integrated graphics processing in conjunction with the real-time demands of the A3200, we
recommend using a dedicated graphics card with 64 MB of RAM.
General System Recommendations
· Windows Audio can cause timing related errors. To avoid potential problems, set the Control Panel Sound
Scheme to No Sounds.
· Do not use Dell OMCI (Open Manage Client Instrumentation) software with the A3200. Remove any OMCI
software using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.
· The A3200 requires regular access to the PCI bus for proper operation. Frame grabbers can use excessive
amounts of PCI bus bandwidth and cause communication errors or motion dropouts. Use a dual PC
(client/server) configuration in these cases.
· Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is supported in all configurations except multiprocessor with one processor
dedicated to RTX.
· After installing the software, run RtxDiag.exe (see RTX Diagnostics) to evaluate the performance of the RTX
real-time environment on your PC
