Hardware Requirements
PointCloud CAD operates entirely within Windows,
and has no hardware requirements over and above those
of Windows itself except as noted below. We suggest
the following basic system as a minimum for efficient
operation:
• Pentium processor - 2GHz minimum - the faster
the better!
• 3GB of RAM - note that the PointCloud Engine supports and uses 64bit machines
• 50GB free hard disk space
• XGA or better monitor (Dual Screen operation is highly recommended)
• For animation production, a graphics card with 512MB RAM is needed for frame buffering
• Video resolution set to 1280x1024 or better
• Mouse, digitizing tablet or other pointing device
• Available USB port for the USB Security Key
In order to use the data collector communication features,
your system will also need an external RS-232 serial
port or a USB connection for best performance with MicroSurvey
FieldGenius.
In order to get printed output, you will require a printer
or plotter configured to work in your Windows environment.
We recommend obtaining the most up-to-date printer/plotter
drivers off of the manufacturers Internet web site.
Software Requirements
PointCloud CAD is designed for use with
Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7. Note: On Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 machines you will require Administrative
rights to install the software.
Network License Use
The new MicroSurvey License Server software is installed on one computer in the office. This computer must have the USB Security key plugged into it. We have had good success testing this on multiple machines.
