System requirements

Software for acquisition and recording

• ibaPDA V8.4.0 or higher

• Operating system Windows 10 (x86/x64), Windows 11 (x64), Windows Server 2016 (x64), Windows Server 2019 (x64), Windows Server 2022 (x64) or Windows Server 2025 (x64).

Other software components

In order to take advantage of all features of ibaHD-Server v2.6 or higher, particularly the feature of offline events, the following versions of other software components involved are highly recommended.

• ibaHD-Manager v2.6.0 or higher

• ibaPDA client v7.3.0 or higher

• ibaDatCoordinator v2.4.0 or higher

• ibaAnalyzer v7.3.0 or higher

Note
	A combined usage of lower version software components than listed above together with the offline event feature may result in data loss in the worst case.

Note

iba software products are developed and carefully tested according to the current rules of technology. iba products generally run without problems on supported computers that fulfill the system requirements specified in the documentation. In very rare cases, software products from other manufacturers may interfere with the operation of iba products (e.g. starting a service). Known cases were related to special IT monitoring and security software, such as virus and network scanners. If you have problems with the start of iba products, please check the necessity and setting options of other installed programs or contact our support.

Hardware

• Computer equipment according to the requirements of the recording (number of the measuring channels, sampling cycle, volume of the archive)

Tip
	The following example gives an approximate value of the memory requirements: Recording of 64 analog signals at a time base of 1 ms in continuous operation 24/7, HD recording period 2 years => Hard disk memory requirement approx. 15.5 TB
