Geoplot Hardware Requirements
Operating system should be one of the following : Windows 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, NT4, ME, 2000, XP or Vista (download Running Geoplot 3 on Windows Vista for further details). Minimum recommended hardware is a Pentium II class processor, cpu speed 266 Mhz or faster, with SVGA display or better for desktop work. Geoplot 3.0 will also work on PC's as slow as a 486 DX2 40Mhz processor so an older laptop computer with VGA display running Windows 3.1, for example, could be used for downloading data in the field. An RS232 communication port is required if data is to be downloaded from instruments into Geoplot 3.0 - if there is only a USB port available then a USB to serial port adapter may be used. A 3.5 inch floppy disk drive (built-in or external USB) may also be required - see below.
Geoplot 3.0 consists of three items: (a) CD with installation code, (b) comprehensive instruction manual with tutorial and (c) software protection--this is provided as either a USB or LPT hardware dongle, or a software authorisation. USB dongles will be supplied unless an alternative is requested. The software authorisation is transferred to your hard-disk from a floppy disk or can be transferred to another PC via the floppy disk.
Geoplot 3.0 is normally supplied for one user operating on a stand-alone PC or a network. Multiple user versions, (5 and 10 users) are available for use on client-server network systems. A multiple user (25 users) educational version, with restricted functionality, is available for use on client-server systems. Functions that are disabled are : New Input Template, Open Input Template, Download Data, Keyboard Input, Import Data, Export Data and Create Pseudo-sections. There are no other restrictions.
