Clarity compatibility
Please see the tables below before installing or upgrading to a new version of Clarity. The System compatibility table provides an overview of the compatibility between Clarity software, DataApex A/D converters, and Microsoft Windows. The Computer configuration table lists the computer hardware requirements. Both tables are available in a PDF file for your convenience.

Computer configuration
| Minimal* | Recommended** | |
|---|---|---|
Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 7(32-bit, 64-bit) Supported from version 6.2 | PC Pentium 4, 2 GB RAM | Intel i5-8250U or equivalent/newer, 8 GB RAM, SSD drive |

* Minimal configuration is suitable for Clarity (Lite) configured with one Clarity Instrument running an analog acquisition using Colibrick A/D Converter.
** Recommended computer requirements depend on a number of Clarity Instruments and their configuration. For example, running multiple Clarity Instruments simultaneously using PDA Extension and Agilent ICF control modules poses higher demands on the processing power. Please, contact us to consult a computer configuration suitable for your instrumentation.
