Installation
System Requirements
The system requirements for installing and running the Surveyor software are 
shown in the table below.
*The amount of memory and processor speed required depends on the size of a 
capture file opened for viewing/analysis. Surveyor contains a utility to break up 
large capture files if you need to view large captures and have limited system 
resources.
See the Readme file for the latest system requirements for Surveyor 5.0.
