System Requirements

The software includes a 3D mapping display which requires a modern 3D graphics card
and up to date drivers to run. If your machine does not meet the graphics
requirements the mapping view will only show space without a globe.
When Spatial is running at very high output rates e.g. 1000 Hz, Spatial Manager can
consume significant system resources handling the large quantity of data.

Installation

Spatial Manager does not need to be installed and can be run from any directory by
double clicking on it. Spatial Manager requires a recent version of Java, available at
http://www.java.com. On some systems to open the program it may be necessary to
right click and select open with → Java Runtime Environment.
Both the Spatial evaluation kit and the Spatial OEM development kit make use of an
FTDI USB device. The drivers are normally installed automatically, if not they are
available from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm.
