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)

Display Display hardware capable of displaying 1280 × 1024 pixels / 65,536 colors (High Color:

16-bit color) or better

Other 1 CD-ROM drive Required for installation

1 DVD-ROM drive Required for installation of calibration data
(As a substitute for the two drives above, 1 combo drive capable of reading CD-R media
and DVD-R media can be used.)
1 USB port (Ver. 2.0, type A connector) Required for instrument
Excel 2003 (when the OS is Windows XP), Excel 2007 (when the OS is Windows Vista or

1.4.2 Notes on Calibration Files

During measurement, or when connecting the PC and CA-2000, the information in the installed
calibration files is compared with the information stored in the CA-2000.
You will not be able to connect, or you will not be able to select some lenses, if the calibration files are
found to be out of date (because more recent calibration files exist due to re-calibration after purchase).
Delete the folder containing the out-of-date files and install more recent calibration files. See the next
section for folders.
