Xima Software always recommends a physical PC for VRTX due to its USB connectivity. Please note that Xima Support will not assist in mapping USB devices or setting up virtual instances. 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.
