Velodyne Acoustics DD-10+ Manuale Utente

The USB Virtual COM Port software and Velodyne’s Digital Drive

Windows Setup software require the Windows operating systems

and minimum hardware as shown in the table below.

32-bit and 64-bit Home and Professional versions of:

XP SP2

Vista SP1

Windows 7

1 GB RAM

1 GHz single core

5 MB

800 x 600

Note: Velodyne’s Digital Drive

Windows Setup software was not designed to operate in any Mac, Linux, or virtual machine operating

systems. Often in virtual machine operating systems, such as VM Ware and Parallels for Mac, the operating system can’t recognize devices

connected to the computer’s USB and COM ports. Hence, your computer can’t communicate with the Digital Drive

subwoofer from within

a virtual machine.

The Velodyne Digital Drive

Windows Setup Program CD is designed to perform the installation of both the USB Virtual COM driver and the

Digital Drive

Windows Setup Program with minimal user guidance. However, for the Digital Drive

Windows Setup Program you can

choose your installation language and the location to install the software. 

To install the driver and software:

The images included in this procedure are from an installation done on a Windows 7 computer. Due to differences in the various Windows

operating systems, your install experience may vary slightly from the one presented here. 

1) Make sure your computer is on and that you can see your Windows desktop. The subwoofer should NOT be connected to

the subwoofer yet.

2) Save your work and close running application programs, open browser windows and other open screens.

3) Insert the Velodyne Digital Drive

Windows Setup Program CD into your computer’s compatible disc drive.

4) The disc auto plays and begins installing the USB Virtual COM Port driver. It may take up to 10 seconds for the auto play

to begin depending on your computer.
