x10 external gain (like the Axon AxoClamp-2B), this allows the data acquisition board to supply the
necessary additional gain rather than having to put in a second external amplfier.
See Section 14.1
C.5 ‘Reanalyze Again’ Button has been added
In the Reanalysis program, we have added a 'Reanalyze Again' button so that you do not have to
reselect the files you wish to reanalyze again.
See Section 15.10.
C.6 Minor Improvements
You can now reanalyze and impose ADsweep files when the name of the file is different from the filename
in the header.
C.7 Changes to Basic Version, New Standard Version, WinLTP
Now Sold in Units of 1
'Austerity Britain' has now hit WinLTP, and the external support for WinLTP development has dropped
substantially. In order to continue WinLTP development (which we wish to do), we need a greater
contribution from WinLTP sales. In order to facilitate this we have made several changes.
There is still a free Basic Version that is for those who can barely afford a National Instruments data
acquisition board. The Basic Version in 2.10 now includes imposing single and averaged sweeps,
internal gain and the 'Reanalyze Again' button. However, the number of AD channels has been
reduced to 1, and the number of Train sweep stimulations has been reduced to 1, so it is clear that this
is a limited version. That said, this Basic Version can still run basic LTP/LTD experiments, and is still
one of the easiest data acquisition systems to use for this, but it does not have much additional
flexibility.b) We may have a well-known supplier of electrophysiology automated perfusion systems
begin selling the Advanced Version of WinLTP (which contains automated perfusion).
c) Therefore, we are introducing a new Standard Version of WinLTP which will have everything in the
Advanced Version except the automated perfusion. This will include 2 AD channels, 4 Pulse/Train
sweep stimulations, full Continuous Acquisition, full Protocol Scripting (except for automated
perfusion), the Experimental Log, and converting WinLTP sweep files to AxonBinaryFiles.d) The
Standard and Advanced Version will also now be sold in units of one (rather than units of five) to
facilitate selling to users who only want one or two copies which will be substantially cheaper.
e) However, in order to sell in units of one, copy protection will now have to be done by a USB hardware
dongle that plugs into your computer.
