Note: Velodyne’s Digital DrivePLUS 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 DrivePLUS subwoofer from within a virtual machine.

Installing the USB Virtual COM Driver and the Digital DrivePLUS Windows Setup Program

The Velodyne Digital DrivePLUS Windows Setup Program CD is designed to perform the installation of both the USB Virtual COM driver and the Digital DrivePLUS Windows Setup Program with minimal user guidance. However, for the Digital DrivePLUS Windows Setup Program you can choose your installation language and the location to install the software.
