Hardware
Choosing a PC to run T3RRA software
Requirements:
- Windows 11 (64 bit)
Recommended:
- Intel i5 or better processor, manufactured in 2021 or newer.
- At least 8GB RAM; more RAM facilitates larger fields.
- At least 256GB HDD.
- Integrated or better graphics card.
Perform Windows updates whenever you encounter an error or download a new version of T3RRA software. We suggest updating and testing the software before the earthmoving season each year.
Remember to update T3RRA software after installation. As best practice, regularly connect your PC to the internet at home or in the office, allowing enough time for software updates to complete and install successfully. After completing your earthmoving jobs, update T3RRA software: open the ‘Settings’ window, choose the ‘Application’ tab, then click ‘Download Updates’.
If you use antivirus software, add an exclusion for the T3RRA Cutta folder for your username to help T3RRA Cutta run without interference. For more information, see T3RRA software will not install in Troubleshooting.
T3RRA software runs on any 64bit Windows 11 PC: desktop, laptop or tablet. It works with a regular mouse and keyboard.
Carefully consider how a hardware failure and the time spent waiting for a replacement would affect your operation. If the potential losses from PC failure are high, do not consider a consumer grade PC, or at the very least have a backup option that can be implemented quickly.
Modern PCs can run many different software applications and serve many roles. Consider the impact of using your PC for other activities: some programs and activities consume disk and processor resources, which may make T3RRA software run sluggishly. Avoid activities that cause this resource contention.
NOTE: Maintaining your PC is extremely important. Perform both Windows updates and T3RRA updates at regular intervals.
