System requirements
A standard PC or laptop with the operating system Microsoft Windows or Linux is all that is necessary to install robotron*Daphne. In order to connect to the database, a data line must be available, either via the intranet or the Internet. If you are not using the Robotron computing centre, the technical requirements will depend on several factors. We would be glad to meet with you in person to discuss these requirements.
