2.5.2.1 Install the SCSI card

Put the SCSI card into the computer and connect the Digidata 1320A or 1322A board to the SCSI card

according to the instructions from Axon Instruments included with the board. Do not power up the board,

but turn on the computer to see that the SCSI card is recognized.

Molecular Devices has recommended the Tekram DC-395U, the Tekram DC-395UW, and the Adaptec

29160N SCSI cards. Molecular Devices have found that while these work for the most part, but they do

not guarantee that they will work on all computers. They have found some SCSI BIOS settings needed to

be edited on some systems (Max Sync Xfers = 20.0).

We have found that upgrading the SCSI card is hit-or-miss. We did not have success with the Tekram

DC-395U or the Adaptec 29160N SCSI adaptors (but you might), but we did have success with the

Adaptec 2930U and the AdvanSys Win2K Fast/Ultra Narrow cards. The main point is to have the

Digidata 1322A be recognized in the SCSI BIOS during computer startup - you should see something like

this: "SCSI ID 0: Axon DIgidata1322".

2.5.2.2 Install Axoscop 10 (or pClamp 10)

Next, install AxoScope/pClamp version 10.3 or higher. This will install the appropriate initialization

drivers for the Digidata 1322A for Windows 7 or 8..

2.5.2.3 Check that AxoScope 10 (or pClamp 10) is running correctly

Then run the free AxoScope.exe program. It will initially run in the demo mode. Then in AxoScope, click

the menu items Configure-> Digitizer, and then choose Digidata 1322A to cause AxoScope to recognize

the Digidata 1322A.

2.5.2.4 Make the required Axon library file (axdd132x.dll) accessible to WinLTP

Then make sure the PCLAMP 9 driver files axdd132x.dll and axabffio32.dll are in the folder containing

the WinLTP program (like C:\WinLTP). Do NOT put the pClamp 10 axdd132x.dll and axabffio32.dll driver

files into the WinLTP program folder.

Then run the WinLTP 2.10 Digidata progam to test that WinLTP is working correctly on Windows 7 32-bit.

2.6 Start WinLTP

Start WinLTP acquisition by clicking on either the ‘WinLTP Digidata’ icon to run the Digidata 132x board,

or the ‘WinLTP M,X-Series’ to run the M- or X-Series board (Fig 2.6.1). You may as well delete the

acquisition program icon you are not using.
