  • Dedicated hardware. The system used to view diagnostic images using OnePacs workstation should be devoted exclusively to this task. Other supporting software packages such as voice recognition systems can be installed, but the installation of software for other purposes is discouraged and could lead to conflicts with the OnePacs Desktop software.
  • Operating System: The preferred operating system is OPW requires Windows Professional 10 64-bit (Anniversary/1607 or later).  The 64-bit version of Windows 8.1 is also supported.
  • Hard drive space: 50 100 GB or more free space is recommended. OnePacs Workstation is designed for use with a solid state hard drive (SSD). Performance will be degraded with spinning hard-drives.

  • Memory:  16 GB or more of physical RAM is recommended.  At least 8 GB is required.
  • Processor: A high-end modern CPU is recommended. As a general guide, a processor from the mid- to top of the list of high-end CPUs on the following website could be selected:   https://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html

  • Bandwidth:  Minimum bandwidth of 5mbps. 10 mbps or greater is recommended.
  • Anti-Virus: It is recommended to exclude the OnePacs working directory (C:\Program Files\onepacs by default) from your anti-virus scans.


    Info
    titleVirtual Environment
    Virtualized environments (such as VMware Fusion or Parallels on macOS) are not recommended or supported configurations for OnePacs Workstation. Per user feedback, OnePacs Workstation performance is inconsistent.  If users wish to attempt to run OnePacs Workstation for Windows in virtualization on macOS, VMware Fusion version 10+ would likely be the preferred environment. However, OnePacs does not officially support or recommend virtualized environments, and would not be able to offer technical support specific to technical issues that occur with running OnePacs Workstation in virtualization.
