Question

What is the difference between the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of FastReporter 2 and FastReporter 3?

Answer

FastReporter 2 and FastReporter 3 are available in two versions:

  • 32-bit: Contains all test modes and file formats
  • 64-bit: Allows you to process more measurements and reports, however some older files formats, such as OTDR (FTB-7XXXC), power meter (FOT-930), CD, and PMD (FTB-5500, FTB-5700 and FTB-5800) are not supported

NOTE: From the EXFO website you have the choice to download the 32 bit and/or the 64 bit versions. You can download, install and use both. You will not be able to have both the 32 bit and 64 bit running at the same time however.
