APx517 B Series Acoustic Analyzer: Installation 17
Installation
Software
All APx systems use the same award-winning measure-
ment software, APx500.
APx “B Series” analyzers
All analyzers shipped in late December 2018 (or after-
ward), including the APx517 acoustic audio analyzer, have
a new embedded processor and enhanced security provi-
sions. These analyzers are designated “B Series” and carry
“B Series” nomenclature. “B Series” APx analyzers do not
require an APx KeyBox (see below), but may require autho-
rization codes to enable APx500 software or software
options.
See Chapter 1 of the APx500 User’s Manual for informa-
tion on the APx KeyBox and using current APx500 soft-
ware with an earlier APx analyzer (non “B Series”).
PC system requirements
The APx500 measurement software requires a personal
computer (PC) with the following features and capabilities:
• Operating system: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit).
• Intel i5 or better processor running at a clock speed of
at least 2.5 GHz. AMD Processors with similar specifi-
cations are also supported.
• At least 8 GB of RAM. 16 GB is recommended.
• At least 1.5 GB of free hard disk space. An SSD for the
operating system drive is highly recommended.
• A CD-ROM optical disc drive or Internet connection to
download and install software.
• A USB 2.0 port or USB 3.0 port.
