    PC Requirements

    Hey all, I was going to pick up a new pc for my torchmate machine but wasn't sure of what hookups I needed. Will just usb do or do I need serial ports. If so how many pin serial ports do I need. I received my machine but I haven't received any instructions yet. Tks in advance.

    Hi,
    I just built up a computer for mine. I only loaded Windows XP , TM drivers, TM Cad, and Corel Draw 12. I only needed the USB port. I cancelled all screen savers, and the computer is not on the internet. I didn't want anything interupting my table.
    I'm awaiting the spur gears and then I'll be done.
    Good luck,
    Mike

    It depends on the model of your Signal Generator. If you have an older signal generator 401A, then you would need a 9 pin serial port on the computer. However if you have bought in say, the last year, you probably have a 501A USB signal generator, in which case you don't really need anything special.

    Here are the minimum requirements for running just the drivers software that operates the table.

    Windows 2000/Xp/Vista
    Pentium 4 1.6 ghz
    512mb ram
    1gb hard drive space free
