Installing the Phantom Omni
Device
This chapter will describe, step by step, how to install the Phantom Omni haptic device.
The installation is done in two steps.
• Install the software, the Phantom Device Driver, that allows your computer to
communicate with the Phantom Omni device.
• Connect the hardware, the Phantom Omni device, to your computer and power
source.
Installing the Phantom Device Drivers
The Phantom Omni device communicates with the computer through the FireWire port.
To enable this, you must install a software driver, called the Phantom Device Drivers
(PDD), to control the communication.
Specific instructions for installing the PDD on Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 8
systems can be found in the
Phantom Device Driver Installation Guide . For installation
instructions for other operating systems, see the additional documentation shipped with
your device or software product, or contact customer support
Note As with most other software packages, you must have administrator
privileges on the machine in order to install the system. If you are unfamiliar with
installing software or do not have administrator privileges, please have your
System Administrator execute these steps for you.
Connecting the Phantom Omni Device
In this section you will setup the Phantom Omni device and plug in all of the cables.
Note Exact appearance of your equipment may vary from that shown in the
figures.
1 Restart your computer after installing the PDD if you have not already done so.
2 Position the Phantom Omni device in your workspace, using both hands to grasp the
base of the device. See Proper Handling and Positioning of the Phantom Omni Device
for instructions on how to handle the device to reduce the risk of damage.
