The following specifications refer to a typical Test System configuration. Some tests require additional or better system components.


COMPUTER

• PC or laptop with Pentium CPU (or compatible, e.g. Athlon), at least 1 Ghz
• At least 256 megabytes (MB) of RAM
• Display adapter with 24 or 32-bit color depth (16 million colors)
• USB headset. Please contact us for advice regarding suitable equipment.
• DVD drive, hard disk, mouse, keyboard
• USB ports for license dongle and peripheral hardware (in case all USB ports on the PC are used up a USB hub with external power supply is required)
• Serial or parallel interfaces (only if older VTS hardware is used)
• Network connection (e.g. for the installation of a Vienna Test System Network)
• Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7 or Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2008/R2 (x32 or x64)

Please ensure that no programs which can interfere with the test presentation (e.g. by heavy CPU usage or on-screen presentations) are installed on the computer!


MONITOR

15" to 19" CRT or LCD color monitor

A refresh frequency of at least 75 Hz has to be set for CRT monitors.
With flat panel LCD monitors the following has to be considered:

• We recommend using flat panel LCD monitors with a resolution of at least 1280x960 pixels.
• For technical reasons a light pen can not be used with a flat panel LCD monitor. A device with a built in touch screen can be used instead. Please contact us for advice regarding suitable equipment.

PRINTER

Laser or inkjet printer, black and white or color


SAFETY DEVICES

If the Vienna Test System is used in health care facilities the use of the following devices may be mandatory:

• Isolating transformer for medical equipment according to EN 60601
• Galvanic (medical) network isolation according to EN 60601 (if the computer is connected to a data network)

Please inquire with your company's safety representative.

Products of the SCHUHFRIED Company are developed and in accordance with the requirements of the European Union guideline 93/42/EWG. The CE mark proves that safety-relevant regulations, EMC Standards for Medical Devices (EN 60601), Biocompatibility Evaluation of Medical Devices (EN30993), product specific regulations and the underlying quality management system are adhered to.

Please contact us before acquiring new equipment so that we may give you the best possible advice.


The following tests require additional or special system components:

PP:

COG, DAUF, DT, DTAIR, HKSD, RA, RT, SIGNAL, STROOP, VIGIL:

• In order to ensure a percentile rank exact validity of the presented confidence intervals the monitor used should be calibrated with an optical sensor (requires USB response panel).

INSBAT:

• In order to ensure a percentile rank exact validity of the presented confidence intervals for the subtests inspection time and decision quality and speed, the monitor used should be calibrated with an optical sensor (requires USB response panel).

DTKI:

• In order to ensure a percentile rank exact validity of the presented confidence intervals the monitor used should be calibrated with an optical sensor, (requires USB response panel).
• For an accurate and comparable test result only USB audio equipment approved by us must be used. Please contact us for advice regarding suitable devices.
• Windows NT4 can not be used.

WAFA, WAFF, WAFG, WAFS, WAFV:

• In order to ensure a percentile rank exact validity of the presented confidence intervals the monitor used should be calibrated with an optical sensor, (requires USB response panel).
• For an accurate and comparable test result for test forms or subtests which output acoustic signals only USB audio equipment approved by us must be used. Please contact us for advice regarding suitable devices.
• Windows NT4 can not be used.
  

ATAVT, TAVTMB, TT:

• A powerful enough display adapter / CPU to display an image within 10 milliseconds (ms). The test software automatically verifies the system performance and reports a corresponding message in case the specification is not met by the computer. The installation of the demo version is sufficient in order to test the hardware before the purchase.
• Windows NT4 can not be used.
