4 Setting Up the Instrument
with Image Lab Software
System Requirements
Image Lab™ software runs on Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Microsoft
Windows 7, and Mac
OS X. Images scanned at high resolution can be quite large.
The amount of memory required for using the program is determined by the size of
the images you scan and analyze.
For this reason, we recommend that you archive images on a network file server or
on removable storage media. Bio-Rad can also provide an appropriate computer to
use with this system. Contact your local Bio-Rad representative for more details.
Image Lab Security Edition
Note: The system requirements for Image Lab Security Edition are the same as
those for the Standard Edition. The software must be installed on a computer
running the Windows XP Professional or Windows 7 operating system to take
advantage of the secure mode features.
