Further Help
The purpose of this guide is to provide additional support to you when installing and configuring the Navtech Radar Demonstration Kit. A video is also available from our website and this will also take you through the key stages in achieving a successful installation.
Additional Items Required
You will find a list of all items that are supplied within the kit on the next page.
In general, you will just need to add the following extra items:
- Two surveyor-type tripods with mounting heads that include a standard 5/8” threaded bolt fixing to hold the radar sensor and camera (we suggest that your chosen tripods have an elevation adjustment and also a quick-connect, spring-loaded thread),
- A third (optional) simple tripod to hold the supplied radar target above ground level,
- A long network cable to link the external test site with your controlling computer,
- An environmentally protected power extension out to the external test site.
- A suitable computer to control the installation with the following specifications:
- OS: Windows 7 64-bit Professional SP1 or Windows 10 64-bit Professional.
- Additions: Microsoft .Net framework and Visual C++ 32 and 64 bit.
- Processor: Minimum of Core i5 (Haswell generation or later) at 3.2GHz or faster.
- Memory: 16GB RAM or more.
- Storage: Minimum of 100GB of space.
- Network: 1Gbps Ethernet
- Graphics: 3D accelerated card with support DirectX 10 or above. Minimum of 512MB VRAM. An Intel CPU integrated graphics adapters such as an HD 4000 or above will suffice.
- Display: Full HD screen / monitor (1920 x 1080) with touch support, if required.
Witness can also be installed on a virtual machine with virtual hardware as per the specification above. This is recommended if you are competent, or have the necessary technical support to do this. A recommended option is using Virtual Box. This can be used on most computer platforms, including Linux and MAC OS and easy to use and configure.
Please note that only the Professional edition of Windows is supported for either Windows 7 or 10. The Home edition will not work due to the reliance on proper user management which is not available in the Home edition.
