3.5.3 Installing the LTP-Director Software
Important: Please make sure that you have full control over your computer as an administrator
for software installation. Otherwise, it is possible that the installed software does not work
properly. For using the software it is not necessary to have administrator control.
1. Double-click the Setup.exe on the installation volume.
The installation assistant will show up and guide you through the installation procedure.
2. Follow the instructions of the installation assistant.
The MEA2100-System driver and LTP-Director are installed (or updated) automatically.
Make sure to have a valid license for the LTP-Director software! Please ask
[email protected] .
You do not need a license for the LTP-Director software if you like to test the software for
getting an idea of how it works and what is possible. But soon as you start the LTP-Director
data acquisition, the following dialog will appear. Please type the key into the window
"Enter License Key" and confirm the key with "Set".
The LTP-Director software license is bound to one dedicated hardware device. The license key
will be saved on the device. The license key does not unlock the software – as usual – but the
hardware. This way it is possible to connect the device to different data acquisition computers.
If you connect, for example, an USB-ME256 data acquisition you need only one key which will
be saved on the device. But you have to buy one, two or four LTP-Director licenses to operate
the USB-ME256 data acquisition device with one, two or four MEA amplifiers and one, two or
four LTP-Director instances.
If you connect, for example, two MEA2100 headstages via interface board to one data acquisition
computer you need to have two license keys, for each MEA2100 headstage a separate key. Start
the first instance of LTP-Director and connect the first MEA2100 headstage via port settings from
the drop down menu. Type in the first license key. Start the second LTP-Director instance and
connect the second MEA2100 via port settings. If you connect two MEA2100 headstages with
2 x 60 electrodes, you need to have a double license per headstage for operating four instances of
LTP-Director. Please contact Multi Channel Systems MCS GmbH. The staff will be glad to help you.
