Minimum computer requirements
Unless specifically ordered from Kongsberg Maritime, the EK80 is not provided with a
computer. This item must be purchased locally.
If you purchase a computer locally, make sure that the chosen model meets the functional
and technical requirements.
It is important to make sure that the chosen computer model is relatively new with
sufficient processing power, a high performance graphic adapter, and a high speed
network adapter. The computer must be able to facilitate the various interface
requirements made by the EK80, and you may need to add extra Ethernet and serial
adapters.
Note
The computer design and construction must allow for maritime use, easy access to
connectors, parts and cables, and a safe installation.
A laptop computer may be used as long as it meets the functional and technical
requirements.
The minimum technical requirements are:
•
Processor
: Intel I7 (or better)
An equivalent type from another manufacturer can also be used.
•
Memory
: minimum capacity 4 GB
•
Hard disk
If you wish to record large amounts of EK80 data, make sure that you have enough
space on your hard disk. Unless your Processor Unit is equipped with a very large
disk, we recommend that you save the data to an external storage device.

Graphic adapter
– Minimum resolution (pixels): 1280 x 1024
– Recommended resolution (pixels): 1920 x 1200
The graphic adapter must support DirectX9.0c, and must be compatible with Direct3d
and OpenGL. A large number of commercial graphic adapters are available, and we
have not tested all of them. Even adapters that meet the minimum specifications
may fail with the EK80 software. We welcome any feedback with comments or
experiences with graphic adapters.
