ScanImage 3.8 Workstation Specs
ScanImage 3.8 can be run on a wide range of computers. Here are the key guidelines:
- Typical new systems use the PCI-6110 digitizer for the primary board and a PCIe X Series board for the optional secondary board. For such a case, it is required to select a motherboard/enclosure supporting a full-length PCI board as well as having at least one PCIe slot, in addition to the slots needed for the video card, other applications/devices, etc.
- Win 7/64-bit is recommended OS; Win XP/32-bit is also supported
- Select a CPU with at minimum 2 cores - any of the Intel Core processors (Core i3/i5/i7) meet this requirement. A CPU with 4 cores (most Core i5 and all Core i7 processors) is recommended if using ScanImage together with any other program simultaneously, e.g. for physiology/behavior/etc.
- Use of a second hard drive for data storage is not required, but does reduced the processing time used for writing to disk. This second hard drive can be a standard magnetic drive - a solid-state-drive for data streaming is not recommended.
