COMPUTER HARDWARE
The open-source software supplied with both ZooSCAN and UVP (see )
is both complicated and complex. Our experimentation shows that the
following hardware configuration provides the most reliable and
efficient results when using this software. This is not to say that it
is the only possible configuration but it is certainly a good starting
point.
Recommended minimum computer configuration
Processor: Pentium 5 or above. (No bi processor
computer)
RAM: 8 Gb minimum
Minimum monitor resolution: 1280 x 1024 minimum
Video board: Separate board recommended
Operating System: Windows®7 Pro.64bits
Operating System language: English recommended
Other Recommendations:
We recommend the use of a dedicated computer to operate the Zooscan
with ImageJ, ZooProcess and Vuescan.
ZooPROCESS has been validated on single and
multicore processors but it does not work on bi-processor computers.
8 G of RAM is necessary for the 4800 dpi images. We recommend the
installation of
JAVA ROCKIT from Oracle to obtain
1640µs in all cases.
We recommend a monitor resolution of 1680 x 1280 for better image
viewing. (1280 x 1024 is the minimum.) The minimum vertical resolution
is 1024 dpi limits the use of most laptop PCs.
The computer should have a good graphic card (not embedded onto the
main board).
The computer OS
must be Windows®7
Pro.64bits.
A mouse fitted with a roll button is needed for most of the manual
graphic tools (measurements, tag, separation, identification, vignette
display, etc.)
We recommend installing the computer OS on a small boot hard
drive (C or D). The computer should have at least an additional large
capacity hard drive for images (D or E).
On some computers we observed that a requirement is in the order of the
drives: the CDROM letter appears in the last position (i.e. F).
Otherwise you may have an error message when launching the
ZooPROCESS
macro.
We also recommend keeping the Zooscan computer free of unnecessary
software. This is the simplest way to avoid any conflict with ImageJ
and Java.
