Recommended PC Configuration

Processor Intel Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad
RAM 1 GB (or greater)
Operating System Microsoft Windows 2000 (Service Pack 4) or
Microsoft Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 2)1
Other operating systems (including Microsoft Windows Server and Vista) are not currently supported.
Display Resolution 2 800 x 600 pixels

Required Peripherals Keyboard, mouse and CD-ROM drive

Notes:
1 Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition is not supported.
2 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 Nmotion 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.

Minimum PC Requirements

Processor 1 Intel desktop processor (Pentium 4 or Pentium D)
NOT RECOMMENDED: AMD or Intel Celeron, Itanium, Xeon or notebook (mobile) processors
Chipset Intel 9XX-series chipset, numbered 915 or higher
RAM 512 MB
Operating System Microsoft Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2) orMicrosoft Windows XP2
Other operating systems (including Microsoft Windows Server and Vista) are not currently supported.
Display Resolution 3 800 x 600 pixels
Hard Disk Space 500 MB free
Microsoft Internet Explorer Internet Explorer 5.5 (or newer)
Required Peripherals Keyboard, mouse and CD-ROM drive

Notes:
1 Laptop computers are not supported. They can be used for offline debugging and simulation only. PCMCIA FireWire cards are not supported.
2 Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition is 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.
