• 6) We do not sell digital cameras, O-Mounts, NorthFinder, Remote controller and fish-eye lenses without the WinSCANOPY software.
• 7) We do not disclose the brand and models used in our systems. The development of these systems has been made possible by testing and comparing many components. Because of the costs involved (monetary and time) in designing them, we cannot disclose information about the components we have selected or made. We cannot also recommend brands and models like a local camera dealer. Regent Instruments do not sell brands and models, we sell expertise and solutions with known technical specifications to accomplish specific tasks (like canopy or radiation analysis). Our knowledge of the models we sell allow us to answer with competence the questions asked by the users.

Image analysis programs are extremely demanding on computer resources (more than a word processor for example), so it is a bad idea to use an old computer for this type of application. Most computers sold today have the minimal power to run WinSCANOPY. Although a minimum configuration can work, you will gain a lot in productivity by adding some little extras.

• Processor: Pentium III (or equivalent) or faster. It is the component that is the most critical for productivity. It is never too fast.
• Memory (RAM): 64 MBytes minimum. 256 to 1GB MB will be appreciated especially when analysing many, high resolution or color images. It is important is to avoid using virtual memory which slows down the analysis speed by factors of 1000 or more. Virtual memory is dedicated space on a hard disk that is used as temporary holder when there is not enough RAM. When it is used, you can hear the hard disk access noise frequently during the analysis. During its use, time is wasted in transferring RAM content to and from the hard disk rather than analysing the image.
• Screen: A large screen (17” or +) is recommended. You spend less time scrolling to view the images and their analysis with a large monitor.
• Video card: A good 2D video card with 64 MBytes of video RAM or more is recommended. The larger the screen, the larger must be the video RAM to display all the original images colors. No need for 3D acceleration.
• Hard disk: This component is not important as images are not kept after analysis. If you want to keep the images, you should look for a backup system like a CD or DVD writer which can store for long term large quantities of data at a lower cost.
• Operating system: Windows XP is recommended. WinSCANOPY can run under Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP and Vista (32 bits), but programs made for recent digital cameras and their accessories work better and are installed more easily under XP (and Vista for the latest camera models). New versions are under work for upcoming operating systems.
