INSTALLING SMARTSDR™ FOR WINDOWS
APPLICATION ON YOUR PC
The SmartSDR™ for Windows application is the software used
to interface with the FLEX-6700R receiver hardware for view-
ing spectrum and controlling the radio.
Recommendations and Requirements
Minimum recommended CPU for SmartSDR for Windows is
the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo or AMD® Athlon™ 64 x2 processor.
Minimum Windows and .NET Requirements
SmartSDR is a 64 and 32-bit Windows .NET Framework
application designed to operate on Windows XP SP3, Vista,
Windows 7 and Windows 8. The .NET Framework 4.0 Client
Profile is required.
The minimum version of Windows supported by SmartSDR
is Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3). The SmartSDR for
Windows Installer will automatically detect your current
Windows version and will notify you if it does not meet the
minimum operating system requirements. If your Windows
XP PC has not been upgraded to SP3, you must do so
before installing SmartSDR. See minimum Windows and
.NET requirements below for obtaining the Windows XP SP3
software update.
If you need to install SP3 for Windows XP, install it before
installing the .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile. The easiest
method for obtaining it is to use the Windows Update service.
An optional update method is to download the SP3 update
software via the Internet directly from Microsoft using this web
link:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/details.aspx?id=24.
Note: this is a very large download (approximately 316 MB)
which may take over an hour to download using slower
Internet connections.
If you need to install the .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile,
the SmartSDR for Windows Installer will automatically install it
from the SmartSDR Installation CD or attempt to download the
necessary software from the Internet if the CD is not available.
Alternately, you can download it directly from Microsoft using
this web link BEFORE installing SmartSDR for Windows.
