Minimum system requirements

Kevin 1 month ago updated by I CAN GO 4 weeks ago 6

Is this the most up-to-date system requirements for design, run and simulate version 7? We are specifying a custom build panel PC and need to ensure it will run IQAN Run version 7, the specs below seem quite outdated. Is this the latest minimum?

IQAN 7 is a 64 bit program, so at least make sure your system is 64 bit.

Thanks, noted. Hopefully the IQAN team can confirm the remaining hardware requirements here...

What you need for version 7 is

  • 64-bit
  • Windows 10 or 11

As you guessed, the specs you found is from an outdated catalog.

Is there minimum hardware requirements or do they still match the ones listed in the outdated catalogue? For example, minimum intel i3 or i5 generation etc, min screen resolution, ram etc

Can anyone confirm please? We need to build a custom PC and the components cannot be changed if its not compatible because of its compact size! Thanks!

I am not the IQAN developer team, nor in any way an affiliated person, but here are my thoughts as I am our company's sysadmin and purchase pc's.

    • Get an Intel i5 at minimum, or even an i7 if budget allows. (always purchase as much as budget allows😊) If you plan to keep this pc for a while, get a minimum of 12th gen, preferably a 14th gen or higher.
    • Obviously, make sure it has TPM 2.0 to support Windows 11 since 10 is soon unsupported.
    • RAM. Definitely get 32 gb if possible. I mean, it would run on a lot less, but you will be sorry later on.
    • Hard Drive. Be sure it is an SSD. Speed will be much less on the HDD's. If you don't have any cloud storage, get at least 1tb. You won't regret it.
    • Screen resolution: Probably not such a big deal, get what the end user prefers. As a developer, I would always say the bigger the better.

This list is by no means the minimum requirements, I would say the minimum specs for running Windows 11 would probably work to run IQAN Run without a problem. But in my theory, why not future proof as best as possible?

Take this for what its worth, just some ideas here.
