Fig. 10.2.8.1. Running Many WinLTP Programs Simultaneously (on one computer). The first instance of
WinLTP running, ‘WinLTP’ on the left (see the program name bar and on the Task Bar (not shown)), has
the normal white letters on a dark blue Title Bar, whereas the second instance of WinLTP running,
‘WinLTP 2’ on the right (see the program name bar and on the Task Bar), has different black letters on
a light blue Title Bar.
However, if you are running one slice from one animal, and all the slices are exposed to DIFFERENT
stimulation and perfusion solutions (ie using the ‘Academic’ definition of N), then WinLTP really shines.
This is primarily due to the cost of one WinLTP / National Instruments board data acquisition systems
compared to the cost of many other data acquisition systems. This is particularly true for academics
buying National Instruments boards in units of 1 with a 10% discount or 5 or more with a 25% discount.
The cost of National Instruments board and WinLTP Advanced Mode software is:
