About Exercise Builder
The target audience for Exercise Builder is EMI SIG members who are DOE federal employees or contractor personnel. City, county, state, or federal staff as well as members of the military who conduct work for the public sector may also be interested in this product.
System Requirements
Exercise Builder is a stand-alone, PC-based application. It must be installed onto your system for full functionality to develop exercise and drill packages.
Minimum systems requirements include:
| Operating System | Windows NT®, Windows 2000®, Windows XP® SP3 (32 Bit), Windows Vista® (32 Bit), or Windows 7® (32 Bit and 64 Bit) |
|---|---|
| Processor Speed | 300 MHz or faster |

Applications that come with the Windows operating systems such as WordPad® or NotePad® can be used but will greatly limit your document-formatting capabilities.
