Windows Users
After the XWave has been connected to your computer, there are a number of things that can
happen. First, Windows users may see a “Found New Hardware” notification or even hear an
audible tone indicating a USB device has been connected. The first thing to determine is what
drive letter the XWave is being assigned to. To do this, you can click on the Windows start
button and then click on ‘Computer’. The next screen will show all of the available drives on this
computer. Look for one titled “
XWAVE ”. Beneath this icon is a letter in paren thesis — make a
note of this letter as this is what drive letter the XWave is on. Double-click on this icon to view
the files.
Mac Users
After the XWave has been connected to your computer, you may hear an audible tone or even
get a visual alert indicating that a device has been connected. Once detection is complete, you
should see a new icon appear right on your desktop that is titled “ XWAVE ”. Double -click on this
icon to view the files.
11-3 Manual Programming Process
Manually programming the XWave is a very simple process. You can perform the process from a
Windows PC or a Mac without any special software. The only requirements are that you have
the appropriate USB cable, fresh batteries, and a USB port on your computer.
To begin, connect the XWave to your computer as described earlier in this Section. Once it is
connected, browse to the XWave and open it to view the contents. You should notice a folder
inside the XWave
titled “Sounds”. This folder is the location in which all of the sounds, sequence
files, and category files must be stored. If you wish to add new sounds, simply place the sound
files directly inside of the “Sounds” folder. Sounds can be removed by either deleting them
from the “Sounds” folder or moving them to a folder on your hard drive for later use.
It is not required that you rename the sound files in any way to correlate with a specific position
within the sound list, but doing so can help make the task of creating sequences and category
files much simpler. The next section of the manual discusses file indexing. The files are sorted
based upon the individual names of the sound files. For example, a sound file labeled
“Aggressive Bobcat” would appear before a sound labeled “Bobcat in Heat”.
After placing the sound files into the XWave “Sounds” folder, you must disconnect the XWave
from your computer and then synchronize the XWave remote control with the XWave to update
the sound list. Instructions on updating the XWave remote sound list are featured later in this
Section.
