Computer Requirements & Software Installation

Installing QSControl.net is relatively simple. All that is necessary is to choose the folder where the program is to be stored (the default setting is acceptable for most applications). It is recommended the system meet the following minimum requirements:

1- IBM PC compatible computer with a Pentium 4 processor.

2- Processor speed of 1.4 GHz (2 GHz or faster recommended for systems with 30 or more BASIS units).

3- 512 megabytes of RAM (1 gigabyte recommended for systems with 30 or more BASIS units).

4- Hard drive with at least 500 MB of free space for the program and files you generate.

5- Display resolution of 1024 X 768, 16-bit color.

6- CD-ROM drive to install the software.

7- 10BaseT/100BaseTx network interface card

8- Windows XP Professional, XP Home, and Windows Vista operating systems. Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT4, and ME platforms are not supported.

Note: If system is used for real-time adjustments and configuration of audio systems, it is recommended that all Windows Power Options (located in the Windows Control Panel) features be disabled. Display, hard drive, system standby and hibernation settings should be set to “Never”. This avoids waiting for the system to “wake-up” if adjustment is needed after an elapsed period of time.
