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.
NOTE:Please note that Xima Support will not assist in mapping USB devices, re-mapping after an update or setting up virtual instances.

In order to map the USB to the appropriate virtual instance, you will need to install a third-party USB re-director. We have seen success with this software, but do not provide support for it: http://www.incentivespro.com/
