The Evaluation Kit software requires a web browser (not included in the software package) that supports WebGL, for example, Google Chrome Browser or Mozilla Firefox. WebGL requires a graphics card that supports OpenGL. Further, the software requires a 32 bit Java JRE or JDK version 8 update 111 or later to be installed on the system running the software. Please also see
Table 1 for the software requirements.
<span style="color :red">Please note that 64 bit Java is not supported by the software package.</span>

===Compatible Java Versions===
The below table lists some definitely compatible Java versions. A lot more versions should work but we cannot test all of them. We recommend using Azul Java portable zip versions to be run together with our Com2WebSocket tool. Please put the path to the downloaded and extracted Azul Java to the runme.bat file of the Com2WebSocket tool. That way you can keep your currently installed Java 11/13/14 (32/64 bit) versions to work with your other applications.
