The minimum PC specifications that we recommend for client computers are:
| ViewX Client |
|---|
|
2 cores |
|
4GB RAM |
|
High performance graphics card with Intel® HD graphics or equivalent |
|
1GB free disk space |
|
Display that is running in true color (24-bit or 32-bit color depth) |
|
Desktop class operating system (see Operating Systems) |
Server class computers and virtual machines (VMs) on server class computers should not be used to run ViewX in a day-to-day operational environment; instead, appropriate client machines should be used. Client machines often have a higher graphics hardware specification than server class computers. This higher graphics specification is required to run ViewX in a day-to-day operational environment, within which users might perform graphics-intensive tasks such as viewing complex Mimics, or working with multiple or floating documents.
The standard graphics hardware on server class computers and on VMs on server class computers may only be adequate for running ViewX for administrative purposes (such as performing initial system configuration and user account setup).
For information on client-server, and server specifications, please see Recommended Geo SCADA Expert Server Configurations.
For information about graphics requirements when running a ViewX client on a VM, see Virtualization and Cloud.
