System Requirements

For optimal performance, it is recommended that the software is installed and operated on a host machine that is of a recent generation of personal computers architecture, and that at least the minimum requirements for memory, storage and display requirement are kept. However, the software could operate on some machines that are below the minimum requirements specified here at the cost of slower performance of the system and limited usability of the software. 

Software

Operating System

• 64-bit (x64) versions of Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2016.

• The latest Windows Updates are required.

Hardware

Memory (RAM)

For improved performance of the software, it is recommended that at least 16GB of RAM is installed on the host machine. For large captures, the RAM on the host machine should be at least three times the size of the recording buffer.

Non-volatile Storage (SDD or Hard Disk)

SSD storage is highly recommended for the best possible performance and user experience.

Storage space of 4GB is required for installing the USB Protocol Suite™ software on the host machine. Additional storage space is needed for the operation of the software application and for storing 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.

Display

To take full advantage of the rich visualization and analysis of Teledyne LeCroy software it is recommended that the display is set to at least 1050 lines of vertical resolution with at least 24-bit color depth. The minimum requirement for the display is a resolution of 1024x768 with at least 16-bit color depth.

Connectivity

It is recommended that a Gigabit (1000Mbps) Ethernet link is used for the connection with the analyzers. At minimum the host machine should have either a 100/1000Mbps Ethernet connection to the network or a USB 2.0/3.0 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, refer to the User Manual.
