Hardware Requirements

The NMX DLL has no special hardware requirements.

Practical tests have shown that the CPU load is almost negligible and all of today's CPUs are sufficient.
To give an example: using the Visual C++ demo application, a 2 weeks sampling at 1kSample/s using 64 measurement channels consumed a total CPU time of 22 seconds (CPU i5-6300U). Usually the CPU performance required for the measurement application is far higher than for the DLL.

The memory usage mainly depends on the buffer, which is required for sampling. This means, it is defined by you (see NMX_Sampling_PrepareTime_1). For typical applications, the memory consumption is very low (< 10 MBytes).
