Title: PEAK DCS75 PRO, virtual machine (windows) in VMware Fusion on OSX
Post by: MBN65 on June 02, 2023, 03:06:42 pm

Hi!
I'm running VMware Fusion om my Mac and most tings work's but not my DCA75 Pro.
The Atlas software can't detect the device.
The device shows as "unknown device" in "device manager" in windows 11.

Any one got this to work?

I have also a DCS75 Pro and never got the software working under Linux-wine or in virtual-box with windows 7 and 10.
Very disappointing.

After reading carefully the included User Guide (dca-pro-user-guide-en.pdf) and following it as closely as possible:
 - thus NOT plugging in the DCA-75 Pro until after all the VirtualMachine WIndows/.Net/USB drivers/etc. had been installed
 - ensuring the "Connect to Virtual Machine" when prompted by VMware Fusion after pluggin DCA-75 in

it all "just worked"

Here are a few screenshots to show the install then the application running drawing nice curves...

Hi!
Thank's for your tips.
I think I have tried it just like this with no luck.

Will try again.

Hey guys. It was working on qemu and virtualbox. You had to bring up the transfer usb device in the virtual machine menu, plug in the peak, and select it from the menu within 5 seconds after it popped up to get it to transfer to the virtual machine. The last DCA firmware update seems to have broken the linux acp standards and won't allow it to be transferred. Gives timing and can't reset device errors in the linux acp logs.
