TELSA is designed to run on high-end personal
computers with the following minimum hardware requirements:
a Pentium-class processor
of 500 MHz or faster;
a monitor capable of 1024
X 768 resolution - small fonts highly recommended;
at least 64 megabytes of RAM
(128 megabytes is ideal); and
a hard disk with 1 gigabyte
or more of available space.
The amount of free disk space needed will vary
according to the type of analysis and the number of simulation
runs that are conducted. More powerful systems will result in
increased performance of the software and, as with all spatially-explicit
models, a large amount of free disk space is highly recommended.
The model runs under a 32-bit operating system such as Windows NT 4.0, 2000 or XP, and you must have the following software installed on your system:
ArcView
GIS (version 3.1 or higher);
ESRI
Spatial Analyst (version 1.1 or higher);
Microsoft Excel (97 or 2000);
the Vegetation Dynamics Development Tool (version 3.0 or higher); and
