1.1 System Requirements
1.1.1 System Requirements
OS Windows XP Professional 32-bit Service Pack 3, 64-bit Service Pack 2
Windows Vista Business 32-bit, 64-bit
Windows 7 Professional 32-bit, 64-bit
(English, Japanese and Korean versions
For Windows XP professional 64-bit, English and Japanese versions only)
CPU Equivalent to Pentium 4, 2.8GHz or better
Memory 1024 MB or more
Hard disk drive At least 80 MB of available disk space is required on the system drive (drive where the OS
is installed).
To install the calibration data, the following disk space is required for each lens:
For a standard lens: approximately 540 MB
For a wide angle lens: approximately 470 MB
For a telephoto lens: approximately 1.3 GB
To save measurement data on the hard disk, you need to reserve the following additional
space on the hard disk:
For example, approximately 110 MB is required to save 10 pieces of measurement data
with 980 × 980 resolution.
(Up to 1,000 pieces of measurement data can be saved.)
About 1 MB is required for configuration files such as the spot setting file and
measurement condition file.
For protection in the event of forced termination, the CA-S20w retains measurement data
in the temporary work area until the data is saved by the user. Temporary data will be
stored in the following folder (assuming that the system drive is Drive C):
C:\Document and Settings\<login user name>\Local Settings\Temp\mcl
When the file is saved, the temporary data is deleted. The data, however, is retained
temporarily until it is saved on the hard disk, or until you exit the CA-S20w normally.
Consequently, when you plan to measure a large amount of data, you need to reserve a
certain amount of space for the temporary evaluation area (11 GB or more when
measurement at 980 × 980 resolution is performed 1,000 times). This must be considered
before starting continuous measurement.
Excel 2003 (required for continuous measurement with the automation function)
