1. Connect the Analog IN A socket (68-pin MCS standard connector) of the USB-ME256 device
to the Analog OUT socket (68-pin MCS standard connector) of the first MEA1060-BC amplifier
via filter amplifier FA (not listed). This connection defines the MEA1060-BC amplifier as MEA A.
The connection from Analog IN B of the USB-ME256 device to the Analog OUT of the next
MEA1060-BC amplifier defines the amplifier as MEA B, and so on.
2. Connect the Serial sockets of the MEA1060-BC amplifiers (serial cables) via Serial to USB converter
to the COM ports of the data acquisition computer. Please connect the MEA A amplifier to COM 1
of the computer, MEA B to COM 2, MEA C to COM 3, and MEA D to COM 4.
3. The COM ports of the computer define the instances of the LTP-Director:
Important: Please make sure to connect MEA1060-BC amplifier A to COM 1 of the computer,
and start the first instance of LTP-Director. Connect MEA1060-BC amplifier B to COM 2 of the
computer, and start the second instance of LTP-Director. Connect MEA1060-BC amplifier C to
COM 3 of the computer, and start the third instance of LTP-Director. Connect MEA1060-BC
amplifier C to COM 4 of the computer, and start the fourth instance of LTP-Director.
