What are the Requirements for an AWESOME Monitor?
- Access to power
- An AWESOME monitor from Stanford.
Often we can provide assistance with installation.
- A PC with the following minimal specifications:
- Includes Windows XP
- Internet link
- Good quality DVD burner necessary if you do not have an
adequate internet link
- Pentium 4 or equal speed processor
- At least 512MB Ram -- the more ram
there is, the more frequency channels you can monitor.
- A large hard drive - for storing large amounts of broadband data when
needed. 1.5GB per hour of broadband data fills it fast unless you are
rapidly burning it to DVD
- It is also important that you get a large tower that has open PCI
slots (for the A/D card) as opposed to one of the "slimmer, thinner"
desktop designs which sometimes do not have any.
- An inexpensive antenna that you build yourself
