Teledyne PDS V4.1 System requirements

Operating Systems supported (32 bit and 64 bit)

MS Vista (and SP1, SP2)
MS Windows 7 (and SP1)
MS Windows 8 (and 8.1)
MS-Windows 10

Running Teledyne PDS in a virtual environment is known to work with: MS - Virtual

PC, VM-Ware and Parallels Desktop 9 for Mac.

However note that configuring these virtual environments for proper use of Teledyne
PDS can be cumbersome and is not by default supported by Teledyne RESON.
Problem areas are for instance: USB shared Teledyne PDS dongles, serial ports
transport from host machine operating system to client operating system, proper
usage of display adapters (in 3D OpenGL usage).

Desktop and laptop systems

Minimum requirements
CPU modern quad core processor

Monitor single monitor system

Graphic card OpenGL support and 1Gb of memory
e. g. NVidia GeForce GTX 7xx
Internal memory 4 Gb
Hard disk * 1 x 500 Gb minimum
DVD writer
Multi serial I/O

Preferred requirements
CPU modern eight core processor

Monitor dual monitor system

Graphic card OpenGL support and min. 4Gb of memory
e. g. NVidia GeForce GTX 9xx
Internal memory 8 Gb
Hard disk * Raid 0 hard disk system for data storage, min. 1 Tb
DVD writer
Multi serial I/O

* Note that Teledyne PDS can be very data intensive. This can have severe impact
on the hard disk usage. It is preferred that SSD type hard disks are used if you are a
data intensive Teledyne PDS user. The data processing performance of Teledyne
PDS will increase enormously if you will use the SSD type hard disks.

Teledyne RESON B.V. H. Stoelinga Teledyne PDS System requirements

NOTE 1: The requirements for the PC are depending on the application type. A single
beam application requires less computer power then a multibeam application. Between
these two applications a lot of other applications or combinations are possible.

NOTE 2: Having a 32 bit operating system limits the amount of usable internal memory
for MS Windows to 4 Gb.

NOTE 3 (32 bit Teledyne PDS only): Some applications of Teledyne PDS are linked with
the option Large Address Aware enabled. As a result the amount of memory the memory
tests report for the application is more accurate than before allowing it to better manage
memory usage.
a. The following applications are affected: Editing, Backscatter Processing, Grid
Model Editor, LiteView and Plot.
b. As a result of enabling the Large Address Aware link option these applications
can use more than 2 Gb of memory. However on 32 bit platforms only when the
operating system boot.ini file is adjusted:
i. For window 7 the following line executed in a command prompt with the
proper user rights will increase an applications maximum memory to
3072 Mb:
1. bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072
2. You need to do this only once! It will be remembered by Windows
the next time the system is started.
ii. When these steps are not performed the application can only use the
default maximum memory. So it is not necessary to apply these
changes but when you do you get more memory to be used.
iii. The modification is only needed for 32 bit Windows operating systems.
64 Bit Windows operating systems do not need to be modified. They
already are able to give applications memory allocations bigger than 2
Gb.
