Install the Host Software
NOTE:
FASTRAK Host Software is intended to be installed on a computer running
Windows XP/Vista/Win 7 only.
•
Insert the FASTRAK Host Software CD-ROM into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
•
If the FASTRAK Host Software Installation Panel does not run automatically, then
navigate to the CD-ROM drive using Windows Explorer. Run “Setup.exe”. The Host
Software Installation Panel will appear. Select “Install Host Software.” The installation
wizard will walk you through the installation.
•
For simplicity, it is recommended that you use the default installation settings
suggested by the installation wizard.
•
When the installation is complete, if you are planning to use your computer’s USB port
to connect to the FASTRAK System, leave the CD-ROM in the drive. It will be needed
when the initial USB connection is made.
•
If you are not planning to use the USB port, you may remove the CD-ROM from the
drive now.
USB Driver Installation
•
When FASTRAK is connected via USB to a Windows host for the first time, the host
will display a “Found New Hardware” message. The host will then launch the “Found
New Hardware Wizard” to locate and install the USB drivers for FASTRAK.
•
If the CD-ROM is not already in the drive, load it now.
•
When the Found New Hardware Wizard displays, select the “Install software
automatically” option and then “Next.”
•
The wizard will install the FASTRAK Loader. When it has completed, select “Finish.”
•
The same process will be launched again automatically to install the Polhemus
FASTRAK USB Driver. Repeat the same selections and the process will be complete.
