CHAPTER 2 HYPERSPEC®III INSTALLATION
2.1 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
The Compact Hyperspec®Data Processing Units (cHDPU) and Hyperspec®Data Processing Units (HDPU) ship with the
software installed, configured and tested for a specific sensor. The Hyperspec®III installation steps are used if the sensor
is different from that associated with either data processing unit, or if the user is connecting a computer other than the
HDPU or cHDPU, to the Headwall sensor.
