System Requirements, PC Hardware Requirements

System Requirements

Matrix PC hardware requirements differ somewhat, depending on how the system is configured. The system might consist of a single PC, as previous versions of Matrix were limited to, or it might consist of multiple PCs. In the multiple-PC configuration, one PC is designated to be the Matrix Server; all the rest are Matrix Clients. The Matrix Server must support the Matrix-related activ- ities of all the clients, and thus has a higher threshold of minimum hardware requirements.

Graco strongly recommends that the end user’s IT (Information Technology) representative be involved in the following Matrix installation activities:

•Assist with the selection and/or purchase of the Matrix PC. The PC must meet the performance specifications listed under PC Hardware Require- ments. If the Matrix PC will be connected to a Net- work with other PCs, the IT representative should be contacted to properly configure the PC before loading Matrix software.

•The IT representative should be present during Matrix software loading on the day of Matrix installa- tion.

General Matrix System

Specifications

Matrix PC software supports systems using a single PC (also referred to as a standalone PC) as well as multi- ple-PC systems.

Single PC (Standalone) Systems: Intended primarily for applications that do not require interaction with Matrix screens from multiple locations and have few meters and tank level monitors, this type of system pro- vides complete Matrix system functionality at one PC.

Multiple-PC (Networked) Systems: Using an existing network, Matrix deployed in this fashion consists of a single (dedicated) PC functioning as the Matrix Server and one or more PCs functioning as Matrix Clients. The Matrix system’s transceiver(s) are always connected to the Matrix Server. This configuration is recommended for applications where Matrix screen access from multi- ple physical locations is desired or there are large num- bers of meters and tank level monitors.

This version of Matrix will support a network of up to 25 Matrix Client PCs; more than 25 are not sup- ported. Please call Graco if you require more than 25 client PCs.

PC Hardware Requirements

Standalone Matrix PC:

•2 MHz Pentium 4 (or equivalent) processor

•512 MB RAM, 1024x768 screen resolution

•1 GB free hard disk space

•CD-ROM drive

•one available RS232 port

•one available USB port

•network card

•uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

•Some means of archiving Matrix production data and backup database files over time is recom- mended--examples of hardware that can help with this are a CD/RW or DVD-R/W drive, a USB flash drive, or an accessible network drive.

Graco recommends that this PC be dedicated to Matrix--i.e. it is not used for other purposes, like running spreadsheet programs, sending e-mail, etc.

Matrix Server PC in a multiple-PC system:

The same requirements as for the standalone PC, except:

•3.8 MHz Pentium 4 (or equivalent) processor

•1 GB RAM

Graco requires that this PC be dedicated to Matrix--i.e. it is not used for other purposes, like running spreadsheet programs, sending e-mail, etc.

Matrix Client PC in a multiple-PC system:

2 MHz Pentium 4 (or equivalent) processor, 512 MB RAM, 1024x768 screen resolution, 500 MB free hard disk space, CD-ROM drive, network card.
