WinLTP Requirements - National Instruments M- and X-Series Boards or Digidata 132x Boards |
WinLTP requirements |
1. | M- and X-Series boards require Windows Vista, 7, 8 or 10 (32- or 64-bit); Digidata 132x boards require Windows 7 or 8 (32-bit only). Note that Windows 2000 and XP are no longer supported in WinLTP 2.32. | |
2. | 2048 MB of memory the minumum recomended | |
3. | 1920x1080 recomended | |
4. | Data acquisition boards |
a. | National Instruments X-Series PCIexpress boards (including PCIe-6321, PCIe-6323, PCIe-6351, PCIe-6353), and M-Series PCI boards (PCI-6221, PCI-6229, PCI-6251 or PCI-6259). | ||
Important: Do NOT buy National Instruments USB, PCI or PCIexpress 621x M-Series boards because they have no streaming digital output which WinLTP requires for jitter-free extracellular S0/S1 pathway stimulation. In contrast, the 622x and 625x M-Series boards, and all X-Series boards do have streaming digital output and are fine. | |||
Also, do NOT buy the National Instruments 37-pin version of the PCI-6221 because it has only 2 rather than 8 high speed digital outputs, and is therefore only sufficient for S0 and S1, but nothing else such as the 4 digital outputs or the additional extracellular outputs for automated perfusion control. | |||
b. | National Instruments USB 2.0 X-Series boards (including USB-6341, USB-6343, USB-6351, USB-6353), and M-Series (including USB-6221-BNC, USB-6229-BNC, USB-6251-BNC, USB-6259-BNC). | ||
c. | Note that only WinLTP versions 2.30 and earlier supports the Molecular Devices' Digidata 1320A and 1322A boards. WinLTP 2.20b supports Digidata 132x for Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8, and WinLTP 2.30 supports Windows 10, and both can be downloaded at this website. |
