To use an Ensenso Camera, your system should meet the following requirements:
 

 

Minimum

Recommended

CPU

2.0GHz

4x3.0GHz supporting AVX2 instruction set1

RAM

2GB

8GB

Operating System

Windows XP 32bit
Windows Vista 32/64bit
Windows 7 32bit
Linux 32/64bit
(Linux Kernel >= 2.6, gcc >= 4.3.2)

Windows 7 64bit
Debian/Ubuntu 64bit

Graphics

 

For 3D visualization:
OpenGL 3.0 compatible graphics card and driver

For USB cameras

 

A mainboard chipset providing a separate USB2.0 root hub for every camera

 

1 Note: For Intel CPUs the instruction set and actual number of CPU cores of your model can be checked on http://ark.intel.com. The corresponding specs are denoted by "Instruction Set Extensions" and "# of Cores". All 4th Gen Intel i7 processors (i7-4xxx) support AVX2 instructions.
 
Please note that stereo processing in NxLib cannot efficiently use Hyperthreading technology, as on these CPUs two cores share their arithmetic units and can thus not process SSE or AVX instructions in parallel. Therefore it is not sufficient to check if your Windows TaskManager shows 4 separate CPUs, because this number also includes the Hyperthreading cores. The number of cores including hyperthreads is denoted by "# of Threads" on Intel's website, but NxLib performance will only scale with "# of Cores".
