I've followed the on screen directions connecting the USB cable with an RS (232) at the other end to the computer then applying power using an MTH brick to the Aux Power Input. I'm also doing this using Parallels 12 and Windows 10 as a virtual computer on my Mac. Nothing seems to alter the outcome. Perhaps it has to be done on a windows computer instead of a virtual one although I wouldn't know why.
I use VMware Fusion on my MAC with Windows 7 and it works perfectly.
A couple of things. Be sure the USB cable is being attached to the virtual Windows instance and not directly to the MAC's OS. VMware Fusion asks me if I want to connect the USB cable to my MAC or Windows when I plug it it. I am not sure how Parallels works in this situation. You also need to be sure your Windows instance is fully booted and logged in to before attaching the USB cable (other wise it will get connected to the MAC by default).
Finally, I always select which COM port to use in the DCS loader software. It defaults to auto search but my port is COM3 so I make sure I select that before using the loader.
Good luck.
Tony
