Mapping a USB Device (VRTX) for a Virtual Machine

🚧
Disclaimer
Xima Software always recommends a physical PC for VRTX due to its USB connectivity.
If a VRTX is put in a virtual environment, Xima may request it be placed on a physical machine. These instructions have been created for your convenience.
If you update your virtual environment, you may need to recreate the USB mapping for your VM host.

🛑
Alert
Xima Support will not assist in mapping USB devices, re-mapping after an update, or setting up virtual instances.

VMware

Plug the VRTX device into the physical host where the virtual machine resides.
Edit the Virtual Machine Settings > Add Hardware > USB Controller, then click Next.
Select the Type of Controller, then click Next.
Select Finish.
Add Hardware > USB Device, then click Next.
Select the VRTX device from the devices plugged into the physical host, then click Next.
Select Finish.

Hyper-V

In order to map the USB to the appropriate virtual instance, you'll need to install a third-party USB re-director. We've seen success with this software, but do not provide support for it.
