LTP-Director Manual

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, four USB-MEA32-STIM4 devices to one data acquisition computer
you need to have four license keys, for each USB-MEA32-STIM4 device a separate key. Start the
first instance of LTP-Director and connect the first USB-MEA32-STIM4 device via port settings
from the drop down menu. Type in the first license key. Start the second LTP-Director instance
and connect the second USB-MEA32-STIM4 via port settings. Type in the second license key.
Repeat these steps for the third and the fourth LTP-Director instance and connect the third
and the fourth USB-MEA32-STIM4 device.
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 the 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.
