System requirements​

  • Windows 11.
  • CPU and memory: Requirements vary greatly depending on the amount of data to be processed. More memory is required for larger reports. Typical Windows PCs are large enough for most systems.
  • Disk space: Space to store compressed SMF data for reporting. Typical compression is about 90% so 100GB of disk space will hold about 1TB of SMF data. Individual record types can be selectively deleted if necessary to save space.
