Driver Installation
To use the FireFly efciently (or at all) on a PC, it is important to install all the necessary
drivers from the included CD1 (ASIO and WDM drivers). It is important that users read
all instructions carefully before continuing on to the each step of installation, as users
will be required to unplug and plug in their FireWire device. This is not necessary for
Mac users.
Windows XP (with Service Pack 1 or 2)
1. It is recommended that you quit all applications before starting the installation pro-
cess.
2. Ensure the FireFly is not yet connected to your Computer’s FireWire input.
3. Insert the installation CD included with your FireFly into the CD-ROM drive of your
computer. If the CD does not automatically start the installation process within a
few moments, then navigate to “My Computer” g your CD-ROM drive g “Drivers
and Control Panel FireFly 302” g double-click “setup.exe” to begin the installation
manually. The FireFly Control Panel software also will be installed at this time.
4. Follow the on-screen installation instructions.
