On the Mac, everything is simply just plug-n-play. There is no additional software you have to install other than Maxwell.
But just to be clear, here are the steps:
- Connect LaserDock to a USB port on your Mac
- Start Maxwell
- Choose "LaserDock" from the DAC TYPE dropdown in the Laser section of Maxwell (lower right corner).
The DAC ID should report a non-zero number, and the LED to the right of DAC ID label should light up. If this doesn't happen, follow the steps above and post the results from the "Max Console" : Menu->Window->Max Console
Here is a screenshot of what the Laser section should look like:
