04 - LabSat 2 PC Requirements
The LabSat 2 uses a USB 2.0 HI-SPEED interface for data transfer. When recording RF signals, the sustained USB transfer rate is in excess of 8Mbytes/s. It is therefore important to ensure that all intensive background tasks such as anti-virus scans are switched off to avoid interruption of data transfer to and from the hard drive. It may also be required to configure the laptop power settings to ensure maximum processor speed when using battery power as it is common for laptop PCs to reduce their processing speed when running without an external power supply.
