3.3 Driver Installation
The USB-MEA32-STIM4 is a plug and play device. The driver is automatically installed together
with the MC_Rack / LTP-Director program. It is easier to install the software first and then
connect the USB-MEA32-STIM4 to the data acquisition computer.
Installing MC_Rack with the USB-MEA32-STIM4 connected to the computer
The Windows operating system detects a new hardware when the USB-MEA32-STIM4 is connected
to the computer, if the program has not been installed beforehand. Please make sure the device
has power. Simply cancel the "Found New Hardware Wizard" and proceed with the installation
of the MC_Rack program.
Connecting the USB-MEA32-STIM4 to a computer with installed MC_Rack
If MC_Rack and / or LTP-Director had already been installed on the computer before the

and continue with "Next".
