Gocator Line Profile Sensors: User Manual
Gocator Acceleration • 452
System Requirements and Recommendations
Minimum System Requirements
The following are the minimum system requirements for accelerating a single sensor with the Gocator
accelerator PCapplication:
PC
l Processor: Intel Core i3 or equivalent (32- or 64-bit)
l RAM: 4 GB
l Hard drive: 128 GB
l Operating system: Windows 7 or higher (32- or 64-bit)
To accelerate more sensors or run the system at higher speeds, use a computer with greater system
resources.
Graphics Card
The acceleration of Gocator line profile sensors does not currently make use of a computer's graphics
card.
Recommendations
The following are general recommendations:
l Purchase a PC based on the hardware specifications described in Estimated Performance on page
455.
l Run only the accelerator application on the PC: third-party applications can consume system
resources in unpredictable ways and at random times.
l Limit background Windows processes such as drive optimization (defragmentation)or virus scans, or
schedule them so that they don't interfere with scanning sessions.
l Ensure that sufficient overhead in the system's resources is available. You can review the PC's
resources with the Windows Task Manager and Resource Monitor applications. We recommend that
you leave at least 20% network bandwidth, CPU, memory and disk utilization at all times.
l To verify system stability and robustness, perform long-term testing over multiple days.
Installation
To get the necessary packages, go to http://lmi3d.com/support, choose your product from the Product
Downloads section, and download it from the Download Center.
l For the GoAccelerator utility, download the 14405-X.X.X.X_SOFTWARE_GO_Tools.zip package.
l For the SDKlibraries and DLL for integrating acceleration into a client application, download the
14400-X.X.X.X_SOFTWARE_GO_SDK.zip.
Gocator Accelerator Utility
The Gocator Accelerator utility accelerates the standalone sensors or multi-sensor systems you choose.
