Once you've followed the steps in Velocitek Control Center Installation Video above and your SC-1 is communicating with your computer, select Setup>Update Device Firmware in Velocitek Control Center and choose the latest "Full" version of firmware.

Once you have completed the firmware update select Setup>Update Device Settings to choose which advanced modes you want to enable (they are all enabled by default).
