antivirus/antimalware program will continue to be updated until July, 2015. Rather than upgrade your
Windows XP computer, the simplist thing to do is to just disconnect your Windows XP computer from
the Internet, and transfer your WinLTP data using a USB memory stick.
2.5.1.2 Install Axoscop 9 (or pClamp 9)
Axon Instruments' AxoScope 9 (or pClamp 9) must be installed before WinLTP can be run because the
WinLTP acquisition program uses one library file included only in AxoScope 9 (or pClamp 9) to run the
Digidata 132x board (axdd132x.dll). AxoScope 9 is included with the Digidata 1322A board. If you have
an older version of Axoscope obtained with the Digidata 1320A, contact Molecular Devices at
www.moleculardevices.com. Molecular Devices has not given me permission to distribute this file with
the WinLTP package.
NOTE: you must use axdd132x.dll from AxoScope (or pClamp) verision 9, NOT AxoScope
(or pClamp) version 10. axdd132x.dll from version 10 WILL NOT WORK!!!
2.5.1.3 Check that AxoScope 9 (or pClamp 9) is running correctly
It is advisable, although not required, that you check that AxoScope 9 (or pClamp 9) are running correctly.
Turn off the computer. Turn on the Digidata 132x board. Then turn on the computer. NOTE: Always turn
on the Digidata board before turning on the computer.
Test that AxoScope (or pClamp) recognizes the Digidata 132x board, and test that it is basically working
correctly. Then exit AxoScope or pClamp.
2.5.1.4 Make the required Axon library file (axdd132x.dll) accessible to WinLTP
Copy the Axon axdd132x.dll library file from your AxoScope 9 (or pClamp 9) folder to the WinLTP folder.
(Axon will not let me distribute this file with my WinLTP program, but this will not be a problem provided
you have AxoScope 9 or pClamp 9.)
DO NOT INSTALLL axdd132x.dll from pClamp 10 or AxoScope 10 (or higher). It is guaranteed NOT TO
WORK!!! WinLTP should issue a warning message if you try to do this.
2.5.2 Install Digidata board in Windows 7 or 8
NOTE: If you are installing just the WinLTP Reanalysis program, you do not have to first install AxoScope
or pClamp, inotherwords (e.g., you can skip this section).
The Digidata 1320A and 1322A boards are not compatible with Windows 7 and 8 64-bit, but work fine with
Windows 7 and 8 32-bit. WinLTP 1.01, 1.10 and 1.11, but not 2.00 or 2.01, runs fine on Windows 7 32-
bit. WinLTP 2.10 and later will run fine on Digidata 1320A/322A boards using Windows 7 32-bit.
