Qinsy - System requirements

The following table lists the minimum hardware specifications for PC machines running Intel Based hardware.
For information on which operating systems and platforms are supported, see our Qinsy - Operating Systems page.
Note that this will still depend on the type of operation.

Storage	Minimum of 9 GB of free space on the system drive. If you opt to install Qinsy on another drive, you will still need 7 GB of free space on the system drive, this is because Geodetics, ENCs, etc. are still installed on the C drive. Note: It is suggested to have sufficient storage capacity for acquisition with the Qinsy software. We suggest at least 1 TB. Using a Solid State Drive (SSD) is recommended with the following type of operations: Laserscan acquisition. Multibeam survey with Water Column Data For more advanced survey setups where the logging of RAW formats is required Data processing purposes

Recommended System Requirements Remote Display Clients
