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.

Operating system

CPU

Intel Core i7 2.6Ghz+

Memory (RAM)

4GB+

Mouse

2 Button with Scroll Wheel, 3 button mouse or trackpad with equivalent functionality.

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
