Choosing a PC to run T3RRA software 

Windows & OS maintenance

Requirements:

Windows 11 (64 bit)

Recommended:

Intel i5 or better processor (manufactured 2021 or newer)

>= 8GB RAM (more RAM facilitates larger fields)

>= 256GB HDD

Integrated or better graphics card

Serial port (preferred) or USB port

Windows updates should be performed whenever an error is encountered or a new version of T3RRA software is downloaded. We suggest doing updates and testing software prior to the earthmoving season each year.

REMEMBER to update T3RRA software after installation. Best practice is to regularly connect your PC to the internet at home or in the office to provide adequate time for software updates to occur and successfully install. After completing your earthmoving jobs, update your T3RRA software by opening the ‘Settings’ window, choosing the ‘Application’ tab, and then clicking ‘Download Updates’.

If you are using antivirus software, help T3RRA Cutta run without interference by adding an exclusion for the T3RRA Cutta folder for your username. For more information, see T3RRA software will not install in Troubleshooting.

Our software will run on any 64bit Windows 11 PC. It will run on a desktop, a laptop, or a tablet. It will work with a regular mouse and keyboard.

We expect all users to carefully consider the impact of a hardware failure, and the time lost due to waiting on a replacement, on their operation. If the potential losses from PC failure are high they should not consider the consumer grade PC option, or at the very least should have a backup option that can be quickly implemented.

The modern PC is a highly capable machine with the ability to run many different software applications and to be used in many different roles. We ask customers to consider the impact of using their PC for other activities. There are software programs and usage activities that can use up disk and processor resources. This may result in sluggish performance when running T3RRA software, and should be avoided.

NOTE: Maintaining your PC is extremely important. Perform both Windows updates and T3RRA updates on regular intervals.
