Chapter 3 Software Installation
3.1 Installation
Note: Please ensure SkyTrack NA / SkyTrack NA Pro has been installed on the computer before
installing the Orion Tracking Controls (OTC) CD.
1. Insert the Orion Tracking Controls (OTC) CD into
the CD-ROM drive.
2. The Installer automatically launches the InstallShield
Wizard (Figure 3.1.0).
Users will be guided through the installation process in a
detailed, step-by-step method.
During setup, a third-party installer will run which will copy
drivers to the computer. These drivers will be detected and
installed when connecting the HT550 to the computer for the
fi rst time, follow the on-screen instructions. When setup has
been completed successfully, users may use their new Orion Controls under the chosen Orion-compatible
mapping program.
A copy of the Orion Control Program will be saved under the existing default directory in the hard drive. Open
the chosen mapping program to launch the Orion Control Program.
Refer to the appropriate software manual for more detailed installation instructions for the Orion-compatible
mapping software.
Installing the HT550 Javelin Tracking Control will install third-party drivers which allow the computer to
communicate with the HT550 Javelin using a USB cable.
When installing the third-party driver on a machine running
Windows XP windows may display a Windows Logo Testing
dialog. (Figure 3.1.1)
Windows XP keeps a registry of all “Microsoft Certifi ed” drivers,
and provides a warning during any installation of an uncertifi ed
driver. This warning has nothing to do with the quality of the
driver or its ability to function properly in your system. If any
changes - even minor ones - are made to a Microsoft Certifi ed
driver, that driver must go through the Microsoft Certifi cation
process again, which can take some time. The warning screen
appears when the driver update has not yet made its way through
the entire Certifi cation process.
However, just because a driver is unsigned does not mean that it will not function properly in your system.
Unlike previous versions of Windows, Windows XP warns users every time they try to install a driver that
Microsoft has not certifi ed.
If you see this warning during the installation, simply tell Windows that you want to Continue Anyway and
install the driver through the standard installation process.
