Processor Requirements
All measurement capabilities other than the 200MS/s I/Q streaming have modest processor
requirements. Typical i5/i7 processors will have the necessary performance. For 200MS/s I/Q
streaming, single threaded CPU performance is critical. Signal Hound recommends CPUs that
can sustain 4GHz single threaded performance and 8th generation or newer Intel processors.
