Operating System
64-bit (x64) versions of Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016.
The latest Service Pack available for the version of Windows in use is required.
Memory (RAM)
For improved software performance, we recommend at least 16GB of RAM on the host machine. Memory as little as 2GB stills allow the software to function, but impairs its performance.
Non-volatile Storage (SDD or Hard Disk)
Storage space of 4GB is required for installing the Net Protocol Suite™ software onto the host machine. Additional storage space is needed to operate the software application and to store recorded data in files. Remember that storing large, captured traces can result in multiple gigabytes of file sizes and can quickly fill your available storage space.
Connectivity
Teledyne LeCroy recommendeds a gigabit (1000-Mbps) Ethernet or a USB 3.0 link for connecting with SierraNet analyzers. At minimum, the host machine should have either a 100/1000-Mbps Ethernet connection to the network or a USB 2.0 port.
If multiple analyzers are daisy-chained and connected to the same host machine, one Ethernet connection or one USB port is required for each analyzer.
Note that there is no connectivity requirement if the analysis application is used to only view pre-recorded traces.
For tips as for how to improve on the performance of the Teledyne LeCroy analysis system and more specifically on the performance of the software, please refer to the Net Protocol Suite User Manual.
